The main Crunch Base press release does not mention NZGCP and so here is the corresponding LinkedIn post from NZGCP.

Averill Dickson has worked variously with FKA's Angels and portfolio companies. Following discussions with Heath, Tim W and Rudi, she has now settled on 10 colours for her angel wings. She'd be a great fit, not always a colour match. 

If anyone knows any reasons why Averill should not join the ranks of FKA. then raise your concerns in confidence with the FKA Board.

Smart investors syndicate!

With the ascend of Averill, we may have Angel Hair Fashion soon?

NBR's Shoeshine Series shines a light on NZ CEOs that might do better shoe shining. This one is about Photonic, Powerhouse and NZGCP.

Change is not easy! The non-Swedish reader can refer to Hög…ertr…mlä… as H-Day. This was the day when the Swedish government decided to switch from driving on the left lane to the right. This was to ease the transition when commuting from Sweden to all of its neighbouring countries which drove on the right lane. On H-Day and the following weeks, traffic was practically at a standstill.

He has talked with Andy, Glen and Rudi about angelic matters and all feel there is a good mutual fit. That is unless anyone knows reasons to put Jonathan on the plank rather than let him join FKA. Please raise any concerns in confidence with the FKA Board.

"I dunno..." may or may not be appropriate chatter in the app?

NBR extract 2 June 2020. Lesson 3. Allocations in capital raisings are becoming more transparent. In sharemarkets, one of the most mysterious places is the broker’s ‘bookbuild’ room. This is the place where investment bankers, alongside the companies issuing the new shares, decide who gets what.

You might imagine that this is an orderly procedure, but the stakes can be very high and the feedback is that it is more like a scene of chaos where wild promises of lavish future commissions and clients’ loyalties swirl and pitch through the wee small hours. Investors will beg, plead, and demand, sometimes all three in one phone call, to be ‘looked after’ and receive a good allocation from the ‘bookbuild’ room.

Even after the fact, it can be very unclear what percentage allocation is a good or bad one. Now, however, the world appears to have changed. Stock exchanges are now demanding that allocations will, in the first instance, be determined by how many shares investors own of the company when the capital raising is announced. A pro-rata approach is transparent and sensible and how it should always have been, it is just not as interesting a process.
