Tuesday night was pitch practice and 8 founders followed the call! Thank you Lachlan and Caro for hosting, Steffen and Isabel for bringing a bootful of drinks. Cool space and we'll do that again! In the meantime, if you're looking for a desk...
Above in 2021, Akhtaar the founder of Minful Muslim from the comfort of CCH's rumpus room. Then, he moved back to Singapore and put the businss into suspended animation, whilst learning how to hustle in the Islam world. See HERE!
Our portfolio company #26! Now let's see how Akhtaar re-animates MML  
Kara #33 has strong interest from big media wanting more than Kara can deliver right now. Hence, the team is raising to go faster. $3m, 50% already committed.

Sadly, Arash had his voice hijacked by a nasty chest invection which is why we only have his 2022 video but he'll fix that for next Friday!

Our strategy discussions are best reflected in Jai's facial expessions. □

More for founders: ADI.Clinic & 4FF.nz.
More colab:  DD & backoffice, good not just for investors, also good for founders.

Let's face the truth, without founders angels will not find the exits!

Ever wondered about adoption rates of new tech? Segway, Google Glass failures, Vision Pro prospects? "Our primary evolutionary goal is for people to want to mate with us. For that to happen, we need to stand out—but not too much, and only in ways that increase our perceived status or appeal." Interesting thoughts HERE!
At FKA we always say, especially to our U35 angels, size of brain over size of cheque! This story is vivid illustration! $53m ≈ $1.

Follow a big investor? Corporate VCs? Long earnout? Think again.

Also, on LinkedIn and over 2,000 FKA GIFs on GIPHY.
