fileinvite.com CEO James gave a dynamic pitch on Tuesday night and the FKA DD Vote is underway. Not hard to see why FKAngel duo Garth and Phil like it.
Matt from DebtorDaddy FPC#06 come up from the South Island to give us a candid update. After Xero expanded into his space he had to adjust the business model. He has raised service and price levels and now offers a special product for accountants. This has consolidated his revenue and he focused to reach break even over the remaining runway, to about the middle of next year.

Salesman extraordinaire and FKAngel Tim Gelston reckons he has some tricks up his sleeve and is following up with Matt. Also, Matt Gin from KPMG is following up with their Xero team to see how they could leverage DebtorDaddy for added value for SME customers. 

Please ping [email protected] directly if you know any companies or accountants that are contending with outstanding debtors in excess of benchmark levels.
Kami FPC#02 has good reason to dance. They have just reported their first cash flow positive quarter with all metrics trending in the right direction. The timing of their Halloween party tonight was clearly well planned. If you want to see chair and CRO Bob Drummond swap his moon suit for a pumpkin helmet  Bᴇ Tʜᴇʀᴇ Tᴏɴɪɢʜᴛ! 
Hi5 to Uli. He has seen a gap in our processes and is stepping in to do something about. He wants to improve our conversion rates.
① bring more traffic to ADI.Clinic, ② hook up founders with promise to mentors, and ③ find champions for investment-ready startups.

Forthwith his colour shall be purple and his title DFM for Deal Flow Master.
Conversations of a Gobot
With the visitors of fka.nz

V: Sorry, I have seen this before. Who am I talking to? Someone from FKA or HLL? Or, is this inquiry something really weird...??

Some really interesting economic stats about Auckland. Download ☞ here.
No punters came to Takapuna this week, but we had 4 sessions in Auckland. One of them a driven woman founder cum husband how have from own funds build a property auction platform, another with a vision impaired visual artist who has developed leading edge tech to convert photographs into high definition 3D assets.
Uli, that sounds like two jobs for our DFM!

Hamilton has already got the first 2 bookings for their ADI.Clinic on Monday 13 November. Competition for Auckland?
