Sadly women are underrepresented among angels.

Also, this tongue-in-cheek Better Bond video had little impact.

Phil Southward, Debra Hall, Ian White, Katheren Leitner and Stephen Smith have teamed up to have a close look at Vince and complete the DD Report. The original pitch was in March and the team is now giving a positive recommendation. Not so much soft tech but delicious food.
Stephen is a Flying Kiwi with a day job at Teneo in the UAE. The team helped ADNOC with the biggest IPO--$2.3b is big even for the Middle East. Read MORE.

Who wouldn't want to draw a line from Vince to ADNOC?

Matty delivered a compelling pitch for Hectre's $5m round on Tuesday.  The company has support from several angel groups, in particular from our friend in Marlborough AIM. This is a co-investment opportunity. A brief summary.
David is a Flying Kiwi with a day job like few others. A poster boy, he is still modelling from time to time, like the above MitoQ campaign. Jess Yip is a big fan.?
Debra is our investor rep for Formus and has a term sheet from GD1/Nuance for this round to strengthen the firepower for the US entry—now that they have achieved FDA approval!?‍⚕️
An interesting webinar on a very important top in startup-world comes next Wednesday. It is hosted by Orchestra. More HERE!
A great reminder from the young Steve Jobs that quality is in the product and services, not the marketing.  Hear him!
Also, on LinkedIn and over 2,000 FKA GIFs on GIPHY.
