Become a sponsor
Fund a lab directly
Sponsoring a lab is the most direct way to support real research on Rakiura — a larger, named commitment to the science, distinct from a membership.
A membership
Personal access — gated episodes and live events across every lab, priced to stay affordable almost anywhere in the world. It's for you.
A sponsorship
A bigger, named commitment to a lab (or to Rakiura broadly) — for people and organizations who can give more than access requires. Sponsorship absorbs high-willingness support so membership can stay accessible for everyone else.
How it works
Choose a lab, or choose Rakiura. 60% of your sponsorship goes straight to the lab you choose. If you'd rather support Rakiura broadly, your 60% is split evenly across every lab on the platform instead of favoring one.
Levels and perks are still being finalized. Things like a newsletter, a seat at a lab's quarterly meeting, the annual student-research symposium, and direct time with the team are all on the table — every sponsor conversation includes the founding team directly, so the details fit what you and the lab actually want. Nothing here is a final price list.
