24 May 2019 #17 Despite Techweek, we had our normal April Pitch Nigh on Tuesday and the LoJo reception area was promptly turned into a hip space with great Angel ambience. Martin gave a little teaser on a Mobility event he is putting together for the hot summer days in Whangarei. Lawrence introduced the team from Akudos who pitched well. They will submit their video for our DD Vote in the next few days, for now, we have this teaser. Lawrence also gave a demonstration of how US Angels help their startup puppies. He distributed schwag sunglasses from his other startup Horn.co. Rudi came a mere second handing out Moxion.io bags. OMG, what a busy week! Events all over the country, every waking hour. 50 Angels Flying picked a lucky slot early on Monday morning and cut a favourable deal with the weather gods. Campbell was inundated with dating requests that same night at GridAKL's Speed Dating with Advisors. Impossible to list all the events that Flying Kiwis have attended or facilitated this week, suffice it to say "It's been awesome but tiring!". Joe Harper is a smart Angel from Palmi and he is with MIG Angels. However, that doesn't stop him from also wanting to join FKA. It is great to see the connections between Angel groups strengthening in this way. He has worked and talked with Debra, Garth and Rudi. They each say, "A perfect candidate!". However, if you know of any contraindications, please, advise the Board in confidence. Over the last two years, Hattaf Ansari has helped FKA as much as it was appropriate given his role at NZVIF. This has been beneficial to both organisations. Now that he has left NZVIF, he wants to formally join the ranks of FKA. David F, Phil and Rudi fully support that. As always though, if you know of any dead camels in his closet or elsewhere, please, advise the Board in confidence. Tim says, "Last one!". Today, Friday 24 May, 14:30, an interesting podcast that he says will feature Ambit and Moxion. Two great companies that have support from numerous Flying Kiwis! Rudi says, "Very last one!". Today, Friday 24 May, 18:00, the Hi-Tech Awards and he will don his latest propaganda jacket. Before you stack up for your next party check out DrinkSpy. For once a name that tells it all, a price comparison site for drinks. FKAngel Eric and maverick mentor Andy Harwood can tell you more. An interesting article just in from AngelList. One of a kind entrepreneur and angel investor Peter Knowles from Devonport was in this niche well ahead of the curve with OneRoom.
