16 February 2018#03 Tomorrow ✔︎ 14:45 FKA's CCH gives a talk to 180+ students @ Y-Tech Next Week ⇰  MON 16:00 ADI.Clinic Wellington ☆ TUE 10:00 FKA Board Meeting ☆ 18:30 FKA.NZ/Drinks ☆  Thu 16:00,  ADI.Clinic Auckland Our 1st FKA Pitch Night in 2018 is without pitch but not pitchers.  Whilst there are some hopeful champions beavering away in the background, none are ready to pitch. So we'll just meet for drinks for angelic and other conversation. There are a few angel prospects that may grab the opportunity to have their three talks, not over coffee. Please find the venue details at fka.nz/drinks. Chief Cat Herder Rudi attended for FKA and made a case for charging fees on investors rather than startups in order to align with the increasing number of VC, fund and international co-investors who neither charge nor tolerate fees on startups. There was considerable support for this and more fee transparency, see the summary notes from Suse, our AANZ exec director. Note: The above image depicts Charlie's Angels, not the AANZ Council and not Charlie's angels. ADI.Clinic is all about angels giving founders a helping hand □ We had some great sessions this week in Hamilton, Whangarei, Takapuna and Auckland. Facebook advertising has helped increase numbers in the far North. To name a few, Julian in Hamilton saw some 'x-ray vision', Martin in Whangarei saw hyper-growth and visual impairment. Takapuna and Auckland was not nearly as interesting, lament Rudi and Uli. Remember, Uli.Wiehle@fka.nz is always looking to connect interesting founders with angels that may be able to help. Sarah Davis at Glaister Ennor has overseen all the legal docs for our 14 deals since the start. Simply awesome! We wish her all the best for the big move to the UK after her designer husband Nick has signed with  Britain's America's Cup syndicate.  Crazy stuff!
