Totally partial to partial exits! We have another partial exit from one of our portfolio companies. If you're invested you'll know, if you're not we cannot tell you more at the moment. ● The FileInvite round is nearly full, Garth and CEO James have made great progress. ● Phil will bring Narrative Muse to our 18 July Pitch Night. ● Conqa checked into ADI∙Clinic this week and newbie Andy will bring them to Pitch Night too. ● Also, oldtimer David R will bring Kami for an update. ● A dozen U35 aspirants met last night, kindly hosted by Imche Fourie in the deep catacombs of LevelTwo. Almost like FKA started with a Dirty Dozen 5 years ago.

Note: Kami's user count is bounded by NZ's headcount for people and sheep ‍‍‍

For co-founder and departing CEO Chris Heaslip the partial exit from Pushpay has been very worthwhile. Pushpay shows how dominating a niche in a big market can be very lucrative. Well done!
We ran three ads this week on LinkedIn for ADI in Auckland, Blenheim and Whangarei.
