Fee Schedule

​Since inception in 2014, FKA has never charged fees on founders and only modest fees on exit to investors.
​Now 10 years on, we are facing compliance costs with FMA registration and AML regulations. The investment activity has grown substantially with nearly 50 portfolio companies and over 200 investors​. ​T​his makes the reliance on  volunteers for all back office work no longer appropriate.​

​In order to recover compliance and back office staff costs, the fee schedule below is applicable from November 2024. FKA will remain lean and has no intention to monetize the investment process for profit. Directors receive no remuneration and will review fee levels to ensure that costs are met with prudence. 
The Board may adjust fee levels from time to time as is appropriate. Any excess income will be attributed to the ADI and 4FF founder programs.

Fee Exemptions

• Members of the DD Team do the heavy lifting when FKA leads a round. Therefore all investments from the DD Team in that round do not attract fees.
• Investor Reps co-ordinate comms between startup and investors and may also serve on the startup board. The acting Investor Rep pays no fees for investments in that startup.
• FKA Directors are not renumerated and therefore receive a full fee exemption.
