14 October 2022 #37 814 We have a strong, rock-crushing lineup for our pitch night next Tuesday. Usual place and time! Thank you KPMG. Be there! A few peeps from Auckland Unlimited will join us too, Mayor Wayne Brown willing. Bessemer Venture Partners admit. ❝Jeremy Levine met Brian Chesky in January 2010, the first $100k revenue month. Brian's $40M valuation ask was "crazy," but Jeremy was impressed and made a plan to reconnect in May. Unbeknownst to him, $100k in January became 200 in February and 300 in March. In April, Airbnb raised money at 1.5x the "crazy" price, going public in December 2020 valued $47 billion.❞ Zenno Astronautics, founded by Max Arshavsky, pioneers applications of super-magnets in sustainable space exploration. Max will talk at the Grand Finals this year. Grab your ticket for next Wednesday, 19 October 6:00 pm HERE. From Fortune. Making better founders? Hold on, also better angel investors!!!  C'mon!
