You probably read the recent announcement about the establishment of the Angel Association of New Zealand. Andy Hamilton, the CEO of The Icehouse and founder of the ICE Angels in Auckland, is now also the chair of the Angel Association’s Council.
We caught up with Andy and asked him to tell us more about the association’s plans, including:
- Andy’s vision for the angel space in NZ
- Providing a single voice to government
- Help with education of new angel investors
- Promotion of angel investing
- Enabling better syndication, both local and international
- Encouraging more regional groups to be active
- AANZ’s relationship with NZVIF
- Creating opportunities for intrapreneurs
- How angel groups can join the association
- Upcoming events, including a session on 5 November 2008 preceding the NZVCA conference
- The creation of a passive angel investment fund
Andy’s a lucid thinker and a straight talker – you won’t regret investing 20 minutes of your time to listen to what he has to say.
