Hot Lime Labs first raised money and then awareness! TV1 News
A big THANK YOU to James from KPMG for hosting our October pitch night. A regular at our Thursday's ADI, he has also put up with us last Wednesday.

However, the even bigger THANK YOU has to go to Hamish, Zee wife and the rest of the Winedab crew. They kept us plied with wine and hit everyone's taste bud 100% of the time with their proprietary questionnaire.

Great to help MVP'ing. They might even come for money one day 

Pitch #1. Clinton pitched a foundation platform that will be key as the number of drone and UAV operators keeps growing. His team has great domain experience, connections and they know what to do.

Jonathan is the champion □

Pitch #2. Not about money, just an update from portfolio company #10. Hugh and the gang at Moxion are going blockbusters. Their next shareholder update is due out soon.

Rudi is the investor rep

Pitch #3. OMG, seldom have we seen a pitch delivered like a sermon set for world domination. Josh and Jarome from Kwotimation pulled off a compelling double act. The pitch we had to wait for because they had an earlier date with Rob from Hillferance. Well worth the wait!

Julian is the champion

That was our clickbait post for this week's ADI registration. With such hairy mentor memes, we promptly had Michael calling in with his time and money-saving barbering prop.

Check out the video, deal flow Andy has more info.

This looks interesting, startups and AML - seems like a contradiction in terms but then startups are all about squaring the circle. More here.
A nice little and unpretentious piece on imposter syndrome by Jimi Hunt. He is with The Love Dept. and Live More Awesome and was the driving force behind the biggest water slide.
HBR podcast series on Women at Work - some interesting stuff!
Martin is not the artist, his wife Barbara is, and more of an angel too. She has an exhibition in Mangawhai if you're passing that way. More here.
Fred Wilson from Union Square Ventures, NY "Most [...] wins have been in companies where we were the first institutional VC to talk to the company or where we had way more conviction about the opportunity than other investors at the time of our investment." BLOG

Our Deal Flow Master Andy wants to focus on point one, our Chief Cat Herder Rudi on point two with a diverse group that has a differentiated investment appetite.
