From Bow Tied Angel to Chief Cat Herder

John Huston is the principal founder behind the Ohio Tech Angels. He launched the first fund (OTAF) in 2004. Seven years later the group is one of the top 10 US angel groups. Ten years on in 2014 Flying Kiwi Angels adopted many of their principles when setting up our first fund.
John visited NZ for the 2014 angel summit. He liked the FKA approach, our engagement with founders through ADI.Clinic and the quality of our DD Reports. He asked some searching questions of our Chief Cat Herder Rudi and offered the following advice. "Strive to be the preferred source of capital." 
The best mentors don't say what to do but help setting empowering goals. John is very generous, personally and in his role at ACA, with sharing his knowledge and general resources to help other angel investors. Receiving his booklet of aphorisms titled "100 Hustonisms" in the post earlier this month was a lovely surprise and a little like an early Xmas.
A Big Thank you from FKA's CCH Rudi2Wings to the BowTiedAngel!​
PS The first Hustonism has already been quoted in FKA's regular newsletter Another FKA Friday, issue 2017#41.
