NEWS FROM NZVIF ◻︎ Bridget going on maternity leave ◻︎ VC Aaron is stepping in on the SCIF side too ◻︎ Stu is off to greener pastures ◻︎ one vacancy for another analyst to join Hattaf ◻︎ NEW FORMS: ① EC ② Quarterly Reporting ③ DD guideline ☞ more We wish Bridget and Stu all the best We can expect to see more of Stu at ADI.Clinic and Bridget should soon be back on deck if the past is anything to go by. Whilst both will be sorely missed it is clear that Richard, Aaron and team will steer the new SCIF 2.0 course with a strong hand. "Women angels are three times more likely to invest via a fund." is one of the first results from the AANZ survey that Suse is sharing. Primarily as a teaser to get more angels to complete the survey. Who could resist Suse's pleas? So do it! Suse's pleading knows no end, she is also looking for nominations. Arch Angel Award is given to the person in our community who best exemplifies a quintessential angel… someone who shares their time, insights, deeply relevant skills and networks as well as their “coin” with high growth startup companies. They are also people who are contributing to the profile and growth of angel investment by giving their time to angel investment in the broader scene by promoting the space, mentoring, providing thought leadership and being active members of angel networks or early-stage funds. Puawaitanga Award for an outstanding angel-backed venture. This award will go to the lead investor AND venture best exemplifying what an investor director and founder can achieve by working together. It is in effect a celebration and recognition of what a really A+ angel-backed venture looks like. It will be awarded to a venture on target for world-class success which has excellent governance, a compelling business and a clear capital and exit strategy.  Kotahitanga Award for outstanding contribution to the industry. This award would recognise those in the angel space who have worked tirelessly to support the industry, who have selflessly given personal time and energy for a sustained period, who have contributed to the professionalism, profile and reputation of angel investment in New Zealand and had a marked impact on the creation of a impactful New Zealand angel community. Please send your nominations to Charlie.James@fka.nz who will coordinate our entries.  Third and final plea from Suse!  I'd love to see more FKAngels besides Rudi at the AANZ Summit on Waiheke! The beautiful vineyards of Cable Bay and Mudbrick, 2/3 November, $1,321.35 for members, FKAngels are AANZ members. Book here  This week's writing stats of the editor and CCH show clear evidence of writing volume and prolific use of FKA-suffixed words.  We had a great beer tasting on Wednesday in Takapuna On Thursday in Auckland two Kiwis Dan and Stu were outnumbered by three Germans Rudi, Sabrina and Uli. Chris, Martin and Ralf are also German, and Karl is half German. Consequently, suggestions were muted to rebrand FKA to Flying Kraut Angels. Phil who lives in Munich under a German wife managed to make some time away from the Octoberfest to submit his best kraut image. Should we have a naming contest for FKA's Xmas Do? News just in. We'll kick off ADI.Clinic Hamilton soon! A joint effort with Enterprise Angels. Thanks, Julian, Sally and Zack.
