Haha, GAG is not a lemon! Mel has received strong and sufficient support to proceed to DD with 20 YES votes of 23 votes cast. Now Uli is off to assemble his DD team to grill Mel, maybe more so her co-founder Rudi.

Talking of non-lemons, remember the You've been TANGO'd ads? 

Despite a near perfect pitch from Mel, Geo AR Games had to concede first place at last night's Finals Gala of Zino's 2018 New Kiwis Challenge to Nicky SHANG and WuKong Education, all about teaching Chinese to second generation expat Chinese.

Congrats to Nicky and his team! 

They bring a wealth of relevant experience and address a pain point that clearly resonates with the Zino folk 

Nawaz is our new FKApprentice and brings more facial hair to this job than all his predecessors combined. He is only challenging Chewbacca Jai in this department.

Nawaz brings a wealth of relevant experience from Chiasma and Uniservices, both linking university with hi-tech industry, Dasset in the blockchain realm, his own startup Kimera and he brings a healthy dose of smarts from his bioscience masters.

PS Jai has long since shaved, smooth to sightlike the proverbial baby's bottom.

It is AAA time again! Wednesday 5 September, 18:00 @ Simmonds Stewart, Level 4, 4 Vulcan Lane, Auckland 1010. ☞ more here.

Also, 3x ADI.Clinic next week in Wanaka, Whangarei and Auckland.

Marcel van den Assum in da chair, run for da exit! He has done it again, flicked off Flick. He was instrumental in Green Button exit. He was chair of the Angel Associaton but nothing to sell there. He is chair of Wipster where Rudi and several other FKAngels are shareholders and hoping for more of that Marcel Magic.

Flick is rumoured to be a 4x exit for most investors which is pretty good going given that Steve O'Connor only formed the company in late 2013 after he set up the first Lightning Lab for Creative HQ.

All mistakes, grammar, spelling or otherwise in this publication have been made by Rudi and then overlooked by Debbie, Jackie, Karl, Katheren and Masha. Same goes for the images. However, Rudi has been known to insert some after the early morning review.
