Here’s Jenny’s quick take on venture capital in NZ from Radio NZ nine to noon.

We’re pleased to announce that Anthony Romano has joined the board of the Martin Aircraft Company.  Anthony is the former head of Luna Rossa’s 2007 America’s Cup syndicate, and prior to this was CEO of Calvin Klein Europe. His capability in building world class brands and his track record in developing businesses in the European market makes him an excellent fit within an already strong board.  In particular Anthony brings a real insight into the minds of the target customers for the Martin Jetpack – high net worth individuals with a sense of adventure.

Just spent an amazing few days at TED. Had the opportunity to present a new video of the Martin Jetpack – using the Alarmclock blog below as the lead in.
The best description I heard of TED is “that it is like going back to School, but having only the best lecturers and having only the best 20 minutes of each one’s course”. We were brought up to date on linked data (Tim Berners-Lee), crocheting a representation of quadratic space – and coral reefs, gecko feet, Shai Agassi’s astonishing electric car project, a brief history of surgery and much much more.
