Angel Association comes out with some 'New Year's revolutions'
(sticK - 23 Feb. 2011 ) Angel Association chairman Phil McCaw's got a big year in front of him - and echoing his daughter's misheard words, has made some late New Year's revolutions.
His wide-ranging thoughts are available here, and among one of his goals for the year is to support the government's wealthy migrant programme.
"I truly believe it to be a game changer," McCaw says. "There are some significant world leaders looking to invest in New Zealand and their real value will be in their ability to accelerate the companies they invest in, into their local markets."
McCaw gives the example of Peter Thiel, the Paypal founder and recent investor in Xero and Pacific Fibre.
He's also out to fix the 'equity chasm' - something that's REALLY IMPORTANT (his capitals, but sticK couldn’t' agree more). McCaw's upfront too that his investment vehicle Movac is currently raising a new growth fund, so has a direct exposure and interest in these issues.
