Final Pitch

FINAL PITCH: (Nikanda) We are CoCupsable and we believe in sustainable waste reduction through innovative design offering convenience and eco conscious options. We are developing a reusable, collapsible travel mug for hot beverage consumers who need a reusable and easy to transport cup that offers best of all convenience.

Email to Iko Iko

Unfortunately we did not hear back from Iko Iko until after our final pitch but this is still great to see that they are interested in our product. Hi there We are 4 fourth year School of Design students at Massey University Wellington, currently working on a design project which is about creating a start up business.

For our project we need validation from potential stockists to prove whether our business idea would work in the real world.

I have attached a picture of the cup also!  Look forward to hearing from you, Catherine and the CoCupsable team ________________________ Hi Cathe...
