Another FKA Friday

12 February 2016 2016#02

Since July 2013 we have been holding our ADI.Clinic at BizDojo on K'Rd. See two early plugs for our service here at Auckland Tech Startups and here at BizDojo. Now we're moving with the BizDojo crew to Wynyard Quarter and from next week ADI.Clinic will run at www.GridAKL.com.

The Market Validation master classes earlier this month with expert Peter Simon were well received by the 100+ attendees over the two events for founders and investors.
This video shows a humorous example of a "Total Market Validation Failure".

Welcome back to angel investing in 2016. Slowly but surely, everyone is returning back to normality after the long summer break.
We have achieved a lot since kicking off in May 2014. We are doing so much better in this group than acting as lone wolf angels. Hence this post today on LinkedIn, see here.
