7 October 2022 #36 813 We invested in Vlatko and Hot Lime Labs in 2017. The tech is hot, the business is growing, and Vlako is recognising that his feet are smaller than the boots of the CTO and CEO call for. Easy, Vlatko now focuses on the CTO role, and Tijs is CEO. From the NZ Entrepreneur. Founder Q&A: HazEL—an FKA portfolio company. Tue, 11 October 2022, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm @ Melodics.  Register! At ADI yesterday, angels looked at camera angles to AI-secure the back of trucks. Very interesting! GIF from our 4-part series FKA Ⓕ for Flexible. FUN! Of course, the team at inviol are serious about health and safety! ‍♀️ When our fellow angels at EA asked to use our DD Canvas template we were happy to share it and took it to be the kind of Imitation that is honest flattery. It should foster syndication and so it did! EA shared their first DD Canvas. Feedback from our angels is, they like what EA has done with the canvas—form & content. Not sure if Claudia is a keen skater but she is passionate about health! She is one of the Dirty Dozen who formed FKA. Angel's time budgets swing around and that's okay.  No apologies needed! From The Generalist.  "Softbank: Twilight of an Empire". Five years after Masayoshi Son’s $100 billion fund shook the financial world, Softbank’s venture firm is crumbling. Can it be saved? From Fortune this month. Also, from The CEO Magazine, April 2020. Canva is a very big part of Blackbird's success. Ride a unicorn and you ride into the sunset! □ From the Daily Mail. Still great value after 36% reduction. See what Alan our angel in London has to say on this topic. HERE □ At FKA we don't practice HIPPO! We don't think that the size of cheque is proportional to the smarts of the cheque writer. We have many smart young angels writing small cheques out of income. Hold on, Stephen, another of our angels in London sugested this Crunchbase article. "Global VC Pullback Is Dramatic In Q3 2022",  HERE!  Also, on LinkedIn and over 2,000 FKA GIFs on GIPHY.
