Julian at Potentia is not just hosting our February pitch night, he is hoisting it to new heights. Introducing Wild Card Pitch!

Any startup can apply to WildCardPitch@fka.nz ○ Our dealers will draw one Wild Card from the deck of applicants in a session of virtual pre-pitches. Angels who wish to participate should notify Andy.

All Wild Card applicants are welcome to attend as guests

Tue 16 February, 18:30. Potentia, Level 8/23 Customs Street East, AKL. Also, Julian wants to start FKA's 2021 pitches with a bang, with 70 people!

Next week we're back with ADI.Clinic. We're already fully booked for two weeks. Come along and help mentoring, GridAKL, 16:00 on Thursday.

All other sites across the country are also resuming work in February.

Complements to NBR for the photo choice of sleepless Elon Musk. It perfectly matches the headline of this article that waxes lyrical of OpenAI and Brave. Paywalled article HERE.

Brough reports "I'm so proud to announce, along with the Narrative Muse team, that we now have more than 20,000 user accounts. This is such a huge achievement in our first venture-backed year and we could never have done it without so many of you who have supported us including our community of contributors, team, advisors, investors, supporters, and fans." LinkedIn Post. Portfolio Company #18

We shared the infographic at the end of last year. The full report of the Serious about SaaS Marketing Survey is now available HERE.

“I stopped enjoying my role probably about two years ago… as we grew from a scrappy startup that was iterating and building stuff people really love, into a really important U.K. bank. I’m not saying that one is better than the other, just that the things I enjoy in life is working with small groups of passionate people to start and grow stuff from scratch, and create something customers love.” Full article.

Sometimes LinkedIn beats PR. The left from a post of yesterday, the right from today's "Meet Auckland Unlimited" newsletter. It seems many have been confused by the sudden advent of Auckland Unlimited.

Angels are slowly awakening from their summer slumber. Dates and venues for the 2021 Pitch Nights have been fixed. ADI sessions resume in February. Auckland is already fully booked for 4 February. Let's go!

Make a note of our first Pitch Night! It will be hosted by Potentia. All subsequent pitch nights will be held at KPMG. We're always running on the 3rd Tuesday of the month.

Bureaucrats have been busy over the summer break. Significant changes at the top of NZGCP. Hopefully, it will return to its old form or even better.

Our CCH is helping with the NZ Hi-Tech Awards. Of the 4 Launch Events, Auckland is already booked out.
