1 June 2018#18 There is room for a comment on each booking for ADI.Clinic, here is one such comment from yesterday: «I would love to meet and get some advice from the FKA experts about my software dev company and other tech projects we are working on. This FKA advisory work is a must for every startup founder. I really appreciate the work that you guys do. Thanks!» Tim is flying when he is having fun. Our inaugural AAA ◇ Ask Angels Anything session is already next Wednesday night. Register and join just for some healthy Q&A, pizza and beer. The more the merrier! So far we have 32 RSVPs. A BIG THANK YOU to Generator, Innovation Capital, NZVIF and Zino for helping to bring this together. How do you become a rockstar angel? You follow the call of the Chief Cat Herder and get off your proverbial. Uli and Tim followed the call. We so wanted Marisa and Jackie to be there too but enough of the proverbial wordplay. Flavio Hangarter has put this together as part of a free educational program, see more at the Youtube Channel of Selfstarters Academy. FKAngel Gavin and his company Invenco have just taken top prize at the NZ Hi-Tech Awards. Super big congrats, Gavin. You are proving that angels are about doing! His terminals have most likely taken money from you already.  See this video and give him your thumbs up here  Suse from AANZ has just released the early bird tickets for the 2018 AANZ Summit at Marlborough Vintners this November. Given the location and people aka angels, Rudi has already snapped up one of the 45 EB tickets. FKAngels make a run for those EB tickets This is a warmed up post from August 2016. Can you name the three above? If you're not sure then check ☞ here. Again three rockstar angels! Back in 2015, we talked with then VESTA eCommerce who has since morphed into VESTA Central. Rudi caught up with CEO Charles recently. Great progress but still very much service oriented with a product platform. They have now turned to FKA, not for money but startups with smart software to accelerate their growth.  Interesting developments. Interesting article and US data. Quoting from the same report as last week, it is interesting to see that the cumulative seed funding in 2017 is greater than the average series A in 2010.
