We were on holiday in January and had no pitches in February. But all that will be different in March. We have lined up three sterling pitches for next Tuesday.

Be there! David and Jonty from KPMG will open the doors next Tuesday 21, March from 18:30 at 18 Viaduct Harbour Ave, AKL.


The folks at KPMG have hosted our pitch nights since forever

Turbulent Terry from Eigh360 will give an update and he comes with a good reason to raise more funding. □

But will he bring his balls this time? Sam from Syos did bring his helicopter!

Debbie and Nigel from Vince will give a meaty pitch and provide tasty titbits on Tuesday night. Not SaaSy but more tangible and tasty salivates Phil the champion.
Who would have thought that Jeff and John are into cosmetics?

The Organic Bioactives lead team is in Europe drumming up business and will give their pitch via video. 

The Auckland mayor is slashing budgets and GridAKL is likely to face the death that comes with the axe. GridAKL is FKA's HQ and we run our weekly ADI.Clinic there. More than 200 founders come to us every year for advice, and many of them go on to build businesses that make for a vibrant local economy, some are made of what angels are looking for and take on the world.
 

Spare a moment to tell the Mayor how important GridAKL and the John Lysaght Coworking Startup space are for Auckland.
 

Apologies for the council form but do it HERE! 

From the NBR. Kami is a lot more than FKA's #2 portfolio company.
One VC is not afraid of getting out the branding iron. "We wanted to create a living, breathing brand that brought together the Hillfarrance veritable Imaginarium of creativity and entrepreneurship with our relentless focus as a fund." More...

Imaginarium:  A place devoted to stimulating and cultivating the imagination. Most often used in the names of museums and science centres.

Brand or brag? AIM has great numbers to talk about in the autumn newsletter. Also, Richard Coon explains how AIM began. Read on!
There’s an old saying that if you see a queue forming outside a bank you should join it. The reason for this is that it is probably a queue of people waiting to take their money out and you should get yours out too before there is none left.

Suse from AANZ has $1,000 to help angels who want to fly to the US Summit, in Vegas this May. Myriad casinos next to the regular startup casino!

If you're keen flick her an email, tone casual and chummy.
