The visit was organised by Chorus as part of the win.
Co. Starters helps people with business ideas that they do not necessarily know what to do with or how to act on.
Chorus head of sales Mark Tod said the course was about breaking down the barriers of starting a business.
''It's for the people who hate the idea of talking to anyone in a suit.
''This really is `I've got an idea, is it any good?','' Mr Tod said.
The idea was to bring together successful Dunedin business people to help others now that the infrastructure was in place, he said.
It was about ''blending that community of support ...''
Co.Starters has partnered with Enterprise Dunedin and Start Up Dunedin to run a nine-week course.
Co. Starters founder Enoch Elwell said his company helped ''non-business people be successful in business, mostly though fostering [the] community''.
''People are doing very creative things.
''We help people who are pursuing a passion and trying to make it a reality,'' Mr Elwell said.
''While the end goal is more successful businesses, it's ... a strong culture that results in more successful business.''
Co. Starters had taken the town of Chattanooga, Tennessee, that recently gained access to 1Gbp fibre broadband, and transformed it by showing people how they could benefit from the infrastructure.
Some successful businesses included a company that made shoes using a 3-D printer and a drummer who sold his drum beats online.
Enterprise Dunedin economic development manager Des Adamson said that the venture would be positive for Dunedin.
''It's something we would really like to support because it's very much a community thing.''
A ''start up space'' would be available for people to meet and talk about their ideas and projects and receive advice.
''... It's a place where they can come ... and talk to like-minded people,'' Mr Adamson said.
Start Up Dunedin chairman Nigel Bamford said they wanted to ''bring people together''.
''We want people to have the knowledge and confidence to start businesses,'' he said.
Start Up Dunedin is a partnership between the Dunedin City Council, the University of Otago and Otago Polytechnic.
