Agenda Previous minutes Position Paper on Taxation AANZ Strategy Pitch Deck Rudi is keen to set fee and commission structures so they don't interfere with syndication. Lochana Wijesundera is Microsoft's man looking after startup support. He knows what it's like from his own experience. He came along as mentor to yesterday's ADI.Clinic in GridAKL and showed a mighty soft touch with founders that was great to see.  Do come again Lochana! Know someone who deserves the spotlight? Here is the nomination form that you can fill out and NZ Hi-Tech will get in touch with the nominee and encourage them to enter. Nominations close on 19 February - two weeks ahead of the official close off for entries. BTW CCH Rudi has been called as one of the judges in 2018. We all love to celebrate success but there is much to be learned from flops. Check out this blog from tenacious founder Jolijt Tamanaha Partnerships make Flying Kiwi Angels stronger. As angel investors, we partner to share the workload and pleasure of working with and investing in NZ startups. We are also partnering for syndication with other investor groups to increase the funding pool for our portfolio companies.  Zino Ventures have expressed interest to work more closely with FKA in 2018 to leverage our agility and in return bring their strong connections into Asia. Of course, the financial support from our partners KPMG, LoJo, Potentia and Delta Insurance is key to keeping our back office working as smoothly as our frontline work with founders. What will 2017's NZ ArchAngel Debra say about the GIF? Will she see the Pale, Male and Stale stereotype reinforced, or see the funny side?
