Chief Kitten Herder Hattaf recommends this HBR article that underpins his rationale for U35 - FKA's Angels aged 35 and under. Chief Cat Herder Rudi provides this LinkedIn post or just the video for Lawrence, not from LA but a LinkedIn Alien. James and Stephen sent in this photo from their mini FKA congress in London this week. They claim the photo was taken only minutes before they met with a queen. Appointment news is often so-so, not so this one. Michael Murphy has been a champion for the startup ecosystem for many years from within Datacom and Ice Angels. Great to see him bringing that experience to Callaghan Innovation and its Incubator Programmes.  Nicolas Erdody is the Angel Group Oamaru. He digs multicore processing with big spades. Nicolas is visiting Auckland next week and catching up with FKA's CCH. If any of FKA's CTO Angels want to join lunch on Wednesday, pls email Rudi. The industry that Nicolas operates in imposes a strict security regime which is why time and venue cannot be publicised. This week founder and CEO Alan Walpole from Freighthub is looking for a director who ideally brings freight know-how and capacity for modest operational involvement. Wanna know more? Email Alan!
