fileinvite.com diligence is now under way. Iain Anderson is an FKApplicant and has rolled up his sleeves to help Garth and his team. They had a full product demo this week and hope to be all done before Xmas.

​Rudi attended the Return on Science Physical Science  investment committee meeting. Very interesting including new tech in the service robotics space as illustrated in the above video. 
It's a great way for FKAngels to find early IP prospects. This is where Ralf found StretchSense. Also good to learn from the more frequent ROS investment decisions and bring that insight back to our angelic decisions.  ​☞ Talk to Rudi if you're interested.

This photo was taken at the StretchSense FPC#01 AGM that brought a lot of good news. Spot the 3.5 FKAngels above. Our investor rep Chris Sattler attend the AGM but did not fit on the lens. As it is now virtually impossible to get all 100+ SS staff on a single picture this photo was also reused in a recent post announcing that SS was the 7th fastest Kiwi growing company in 2017. This awesome team reckons to make #01 in 2018.

1 FKAngel, 1 FKApplicant, 1 non-FKA. Guess who is who!

The Angel Association invites all FKAngels for Christmas drinks on the deck at Ernst and Young’s offices in Takutai Square.

Executive Director
It’s been a busy and rewarding year for the early stage investment community as we celebrate a decade of ‘doing deals’. Gratifyingly we are also beginning to see some of the ventures we have backed achieve success with a number of recent exits.
Location: EY Offices, 2 Takutai Square, Auckland 
Date:  6 December 2017, 5.00pm – 7.30pm
Cost: Free to members and friends of AANZ 👍 
RSVP

FKAngel Tim Gelston is man of many talents, one of them being parties. So no wonder than that FKA's CCH picked on him to organise a White Water extravaganza after last year's muddy affair.
Tim will fix a date and other modalities to get back with more info next week. Thanks Tim, we all love you for it ❣️

LOL, if big ACA can write 'Devember' then little FKA can tolerate the odd typo.​</>

The long awaited secret FKA handshake has finally arrived. After lengthy rehearsals the board has decided on a unique pattern. FKAngels can reveal the full slow motion instructions with their normal password.
FKA Handshake

Another fun week for ADI. On Monday Uli and Rudi made a road trip to Hamilton to give a hand to Julian, Tracey and Sally with their first ADI.Clinic. Great to see EA and FKA working together to help startup founders in the Waikato. 
Ring fencing is an often used term among the investor fraternity/
sorority. However, Waikato founders can also talk about real physical fences. 
Picture
After four sessions in Hamilton we had another four sessions on Thursday in Auckland. This mentor team consisted of Garth, Rudi, Tim and Uli.

For next week we have already bookings on Monday in Wellington, on Wednesday in Takapuna and on Thursday in Auckland. 

Picture
We have a new poster design to advertise ADI.Clinic. We want to make sure that in 2018 everyone in the startup ecosystem knows about our ADI.Clinic venues and times so we can help founders early.
Picture
Rudi will launch a Post a Poster for ADI.Clinic competition next week. This will reward the top three People's Choices with a bottle of our rare 2014 FKA vintage.
Plan ahead and think where might be the best places to pin up our posters and who we need to talk to for that.
