17 May 2019 #16 Next Tuesday 21 May, 18:30 will be our Pitch Night. This month hosted by LoJo, high up on level 15 of the PwC Tower, 188 Quay St, Auckland. Lawrence is bringing a company from Whangarei that is all about "Making People Feel Valued". Lawrence is not a year in the country and has already appeared on TVNZ. Let's hope he has more luck picking his startups than with picking his cars. Back in the US, he is still working on a 'unicorn' aptly named Horn.co. Speed Dating? Campbell is our man! He will field all questions on startup funding next Monday from 17:00 at GridAKL/Lysaght Building. Great stuff! Evidently, the best Kiwi deep tech entrepreneurs have curly hair. They are telling their story that started at LevelTwo. One of the top events in this year's Techweek lineup. Register ☞ HERE. From deep tech to hair tech, Sean and Peter would make great test candidates. Hairsense.co is a fine example of the sort of ideas and startups we get to meet at ADI.Clinic. This tech is a far cry from the early beginnings of Suck Cut in Wayne's World.   Get the picture? If not, read Rudi's commentary. Let's hope that the MBIE RFP that is imminent will produce a batch of more founder and co-investor friendly Tech Incubators. There are certainly some promising candidates that intend to apply in this round. 50 Angels Flying on Monday, 20 May at 10:00. ☞ Register Last chance to register. We have secured fashionista Paul Blomfield to judge who is stepping "Best Dressed" off a Lime scooter, UBCO farm bike, Kwikli moped or from a Yoogo car. Our friends and co-investors at Potentia have pledged a champagne magnum for the winner. Our CCH is promiscuous on LinkedIn with 10,000+ connections but this connection request stands out. Little relevance to angel investing though.
