Member-only AI capability
Paid founding organisations get structured access to TheColab briefings, workshops, templates, tools, and practical implementation guidance.
Founding Organisation Programme
Give your organisation access to NZ’s practical AI network.
TheColab founding organisations are paid members who get early access to practical AI briefings, workshops, tools, community insight, and implementation pathways — built for teams that need capability, not more hype.
Paid founding membership for organisations that want practical access to AI capability, trusted builders, and clear next steps.
What members get
Paid access to AI expertise, built together.
Community plus execution
Your team connects into New Zealand’s Claude Code and AI builder network, then turns that exposure into usable workflows and pilots.
Founding-level access
Early members help shape the programme, receive priority access to new sessions, and get closer to the people building the playbooks.
Market signal
The gap is not AI interest. It is practical execution.

Access includes
A paid membership for organisations that want to move faster.
Founding member briefings
Regular practical updates on Claude, agents, automation, and NZ AI adoption — translated for business action.
Workshops and learning access
Priority access to hands-on sessions for teams that need to build confidence, not just read slides.
Tools, templates, and guides
Reusable AI readiness material, implementation checklists, workshop assets, and practical playbooks.
Implementation pathway
A warm route into scoped pilots, trusted builders, and TheColab support when an opportunity is ready to move.
Founding organisations get early member access while the programme is being shaped. Exact package details are confirmed directly so the access matches the team, sector, and level of support required.
Organisation fit
Built for organisations that want access, not a badge.
This is for organisations that want their people closer to practical AI: what is changing, what matters, what to try, who can help, and how to avoid expensive theatre.
Strong fit if your organisation wants:
- • Practical AI learning and briefings for leaders, operators, and builders.
- • Priority access to Claude Code, AI automation, and agentic workflow sessions.
- • Tools, templates, and office-hours style guidance to identify useful pilots.
- • A trusted route into implementation once the right opportunity is clear.
