Another FKA Friday 12 May 2017  aFKAf 2017#15 TONIGHT    Equality Matters, 17:30 GridAKL Thu 4-6pm  ADI.Clinic Auckland FRI 13:30  KFA Demo Day, Wellington, rego The first dirty dozen of FKAngels kicked off in May 2013 to share their angelic work load. Now, in May 2017 we have to cap the volunteer angels helping with ADI.Clinic and due diligence. An unexpected but sweet measure of success! Fair enough, we have more angelic helpers but what about speed? There are a few deals that need to come out the other end of DD with a final report! Go, team! The video above is David in 2015, looks much the same now. He has been to our April pitch night and two ADI.Clinic sessions since. He has spoken with Josh, Uli and Rudi, and all think there is a good mutual fit. Long may the British-German rivalry continue. FKAngels, any reasons to object? Now is the time to speak up! Please email all.Directors@fka.nz in confidence.  Newbie FKAngel Phil Southward @KiwiSauerkraut lives in Munich. Tough to get to the  Kiwibank FinTech Accelerator Demo Day in Wellington on 19 May 2017. If anyone is going, he'd love to work with on sharesies.nz. Any takers? Just email Phil.Southward@fka.nz. Angelic Banter Karl: NZVIF want respectable pillars of the community for a referee and I have been wracking my brains to see if I knew any. Rudi: I can vouch for you being leaner than most! As happened this Tuesday as part of Tech Week'17. We have YouTube video tiny.cc/fka-pirates and a matching FKA LinkedIn post. Please, comment on the virtual birthday card for Robett here. Sterling lineup of speakers on an important topic. This Friday 17:30 at GridAK. ☞ Tickets here. Innovations Capital Event will be held on 15 June during Fieldays. This invitation only event brings together over 200 investors with 50+ innovative exhibitors. Enterprise Angels invite all FKAngles. Please register for a free full 1-day pass to Fieldays (15th only), VIP parking, and entrance to the capital event, including drinks and nibbles. EA, the same group that invested in Rockit Apple! AgTech rocks! Our FKAngel Ian Clarke totally digs it too. We had ADI.Clinic only in Auckland this week. We had some likely candidates for one of our next pitch nights come through which is great. This week we had so many from the angel fraternity/sisterhood that we split into two room allowing us to extend some sessions and reducing mentor numbers to something less intimidating. BIG thank you to the following mentors: David Hepburn, Karl von Randow, Kate Turska, Martin Wellesley, Rudi Bublitz, Uli Wiehle, Zack our FKApprentice.
