New app connects doctors and patients across 'bubbles'

Angels can meet startups anywhere! Not two months ago, Rudi caught up with Frayne Cooke from Well Revolution. And boom, their product is ready just in time for COVID-19.

Hands-On Flying Kiwi David

"G.E.M = Get Ecommerce Movement = help Kiwi SME’s achieve rapid digital transformation = starting with an initial batch of 500 free eCommerce sites."

David's LinkedIn post & Zeald’s major pivot 

Jenny is a different kind of Angel. She is asking "What Next?", asking for help from Flying Kiwi Angels to put together this book with personal stories about facing adverse events in business. Nice one, Jenny!
Free access for a month to the awesome Udacity learning platform. Lots of Angel relevant course from great brains in the field. C'mon do your Angel MBA in super-fast time during lockdown!
Corona kills people and so does unhealthy fast food. Now COVID-19 tips Burger King into receivership. What is the balance of evil? 

Strong IP is good for startups and investors!

Angels don't always speak with an angelic tongue. Helping one of our portfolio companies to cut to the chase with an email, this was the appreciative response "Rudi is our secret Panzerkampfwagen that ve roll into battle ven zey least expect it…"

Chris, Martin, Ralf M, Ralf W, Steffen and Uli too have retained their German candour. Isabel her Spanish spunk!

Interesting, not what you expect! Watch the video or read about it.
