26 October 2018 #38 Due to a packed newsletter last week we bring you the update from the Velocity $100k Awards night only now. Four FKAngels each mentored one of the 16 finalist teams. Two angels took their teams into the top-five. Colin was the mentor to The Surgical Canary. A medical device that monitors patients for leaks after bowel surgery. Debra was the mentor to Nebula. Extracting key messages from online conversations and articles and presenting them in an intuitive, impactful, and exciting way. Iain was the mentor to Electroclear. Preventing biological growth on submerged surfaces such as boats. Rudi was the mentor to Shwoop. Turning cities into digital playgrounds. Guerrilla marketing style! First prize was taken by Andrew Steel with ZENNO Astronautics. Andrew also mentored Kami in 2012.  Iain  with Electroclear made second place, and  Colin  with The Surgical Canary made it into the top five. Our FKAngels in Germany stop being angels during the month of October and focus on Bier, Bretzeln, and having a good time. Steffen and Isabel are no exception. We could not even obtain a publishable photo of Phil and 'the Frau'. Tough times in Germany but then they are moving into real Winter soon. Debra's reaction after her first night away from New Zealand. More here. Rudi made a special jacket for the trip... Watch out! Steve will be helping Mark bring in funding $$$ to drive Datagate's further growth much like Mark is helping his customers bring in $$$ from billing.
