Sharon from Love My New Zealand is simply amazing! In 2016 she challenged us to navigate Woodhill forest by 4WD. She gifted us an amazing day which was her MVP test that passed with flying colours!

It was a very insightful talk with Marvin on Wednesday thanks to Callaghan Innovation and NZTE. A video recording will be released soon.

Great to see support from all our sponsors. Julian from Potentia, front row as you'd expect from a recruiter, James from KPMG and Andrew from LoJo in the middle rows that accountants and lawyers gravitate to.

BTW, poster boy Julian won the beauty contest at Potentia and will forthwith bring people smarts to ADI every third Thursday. AWESOME!

Not little at all our Tim W - it's just that Tim G is bigger! This week at #SouthernSaaS19 Tim talked about the hardest $1M to earn for a startup. It warrants applause!

In case you haven't heard Andy Hamilton will step down from his role at the helm of Icehouse in July. ☞ Read the list of his proud achievements.

It looks like he has already put his name to a first cameo role with Brad & Co. Judging by the accents, Icehouse veteran Ken Erskine may also play a role in it.

A first glimpse of the Grand Showcase 2019. $250k or so buys you a great show but for 1,000 only. Therefore, not everyone gets on the invite list, Lachlan did, Rudi did not. Thanks for the pic, Lachlan.

Potentia wants to beat that for the FKA pitch night in September and so does KPMG for the rest of 2019 - just smaller numbers!

NYU professor calls WeWork 'WeWTF,' says any Wall Street analyst who believes it's worth over $10 billion is 'lying, stupid, or both'.
