Another FKA Friday 2024#34
CHH stumbled into the Show her the money! screening at GridAKL last night. He was one of two guys with another 98 women in the room. It was eye-opening to feel what it means to be the minority! And this was with everyone being very welcoming.
FKA's August pitch night had 3 pitches from 3 female founders!
September pitch night? When? Already next Tuesday, 18:30!?KPMG is rolling out the proverbial red carpet to host another startup night to remember! If you haven't been before ?? 18 Viaduct Harbour Ave, Auckland.?
Last but not least we have Peter knocking on FKA's doors. He has the full support of his wife Debra and Pip his daughter, both are Flying Kiwis already. But that is not exactly peer review. His LinkedIn profile speaks of stiff, not flying angels.?? He has a wine cellar to be locked up in, and/but was with ASB for 23 years.
Special situations call for special measures. Debra should invite a group of Flying Kiwis to one of Peter's wine tastings to secure the legendary three ticks from that group. Peter has already been the other half of Debra's investment decisions and wants to get involved in 4FF.
Old org, new tricks! Promo video ?? Going live in October, hopefully, it will make it easier for founders to forage in the funding forest of NZ government agencies. Interesting discussion in the comments HERE.

The patience of Flying Kiwis is legendary. We prove that every week at ADI.Clinic, and Alan, one of our UK-based angels, proves that in his conversation with an airline chatbot. HERE!
