We have not yet digested the three pitches from April and here comes our May Pitch Night with another three, two thanks to Cornelius.

As always hosted by KPMG at 18 Viaduct Harbour Ave, Auckland  

Join us next Tue, 18 May, 18:30.

Angelic Kiwis who want to help startups back home are everywhere. This one, Stephen Smith lives in Dubai. Hattaf, also in Dubai has talked with Stephen as have Maheen and Rudi. Stephen likes the way we roll and three angels think he'd be a great addition to our MENA team.

Any reasons we should not help Stephen grow his angel wings? If you have any concerns please email the FKA Board in confidence.

A TV Star Is Born... Our CEO, our Chief Event Officer Katheren again on television. On a mission to improve NZ housing to combat asthma!
Angels have soul! If you have time join us for soul and R&B singer Deva Mahal this Sunday evening at Ponsonby Social Club.

Get your $35 Tickets!

Email Katheren to join the casual dinner beforehand

David Eldor has talked with Graeme, Maheen, Phil and Rudi. He is an active angel all right and likes how we do things. He also likes Eight360.

Before investing he is taking a trip on 24 May to Wellington to meet the team and test the ball. Email David if you want to join him for a spin!

Still, if anyone knows of a reason why not to bring David in from the cold now is the time to email the FKA Board in confidence.

Interesting observations by Ben Kepes. Hattaf sums up "More companies die of indigestion than starvation. That quote, oft-repeated, is attributed to one of the godfathers of silicon valley startup culture- Bill Hewlett, co-founder of Hewlett Packard."
So Narrative Moose is already our portfolio company #18. Now, we're doing DD on HappyMuse. Is this the beginning of a phonemic pattern?
“Those of us in machine learning are really good at doing well on a test set,” says machine learning pioneer Andrew Ng, “but unfortunately deploying a system takes more than doing well on a test set.” More!
Another great GridAKL initiative. Tue, 1 June, 18:00. Register here!
PWP - Practice Without Pressure is Troy's motto for this informal pitch practice. He says he is a flâneur of the startup ecosystem.

Thu, 27 May, 18:30-19:30. More here! (Troy May)
