9 November 2018 #39 Ralf, the champion of Kademi, has finally got a clear remit to commence DD with 80% in favour. Steve from Auckland and Alan from the UK have already volunteered to help. But Ralf would welcome another one or two brains to help examine Kademi's business model. About time you did some DD? Then get in touch with [email protected] !!! ☞ Here again Kademi's pitch video Laika was the first dog that was sent to the moon in 1957 by the Russians. Now NZ's Northland is following that lead and is picking 8 of its startup puppies to shoot for the stars. Monday 12th November in Whangarei. BE THERE!!!  ☞ Register here Rudi is hitching a lift with NZVIF's Bridget ex Riverhead. Still room in her People Mover for more Angels. Wow! What a busy ADI week this has been. Monday 4x founders in Wanaka, Tuesday 4x Whangarei, Wednesday 1x Takapuna, and Thursday 3x Auckland. That makes 12 founder conversations just this week! Another cohort of GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) startups will reach its final climax in a GLAMACTIC Showcase in Wellington on Monday 3 December. ☞ Read more and register here Debra and Rudi brought back heaps of learnings from their trip to China. One of the many things others missed out on was an opulent nine-course meal prepared by a Michelin Star chef and generously hosted by George from Zino Ventures. Mel, the CEO of Geo AR Games and currently still held in DD suspense, was also on the trip and has written this blog on "Taking your start-up to China". Little known fact: In China, a boy becometh a man only when he walks on The Great Wall. The Zino folk delighted in citing this proverb on the day and for days after. A quick reminder, at the end of this month and early next month the warm-up events for the NZ Hi-Tech Awards are on. Go for a good night whether you are an aspiring Startup Founder or a seasoned Angel Investor!  ☞ Register here 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.
