These are our two poster boys leading the ADI charge in the Queenstown Lakes District.

Rudi "Guy Fawkes Night would be calling for fireworks!" Rob Vickery "We will be burning an effigy of POTUS."

Rob is a GP of LA VC fund Stage Venture Partners. He is moving to NZ to launch the Hillfarrance VC fund and comes with a healthy measure of English humour. 

Modern days startups with olden days protection concepts. New York venture investor Jerry Neumann provides an interesting insight with "A Taxonomy of Moats".

"Startups that aim to create value can’t have a moat when they begin, uncertainty is what protects them from competition until a proper moat can be built. Uncertainty becomes their moat.”

There are three special launch events to mark the opening of entries to the 2020 Hi-Tech Awards. Just by attending you will go in the draw to win two FREE tickets to the 2020 Hi-Tech Awards Gala Dinner in May.

There will be special "fireside" chat with two of our esteemed Flying Kiwis¹⁾ and one Young Achiever. Learning is always best from those that have personally been there, done it.

More details and RSVP

¹⁾ The Hi-Tech Awards honour a "Flying Kiwi" every year. This title should not be confused with the "Flying Kiwi Angels".
