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 Matt@DebtorDaddy.com 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.
