No Tequila

but still a good meeting with an investment facilitator.

I was electronically introduced to him from one of the people I met at the Dutch pitch night.

Our meeting today - over a coffee - took more than an hour and the next step is for him to meet the Crazy Chicken.

Tiring

I've been battling with app problems, or to be more accurate iPhone app problems. I had to roll out the Android update - as there were some important fixes required - before I could get the app working on iPhone.

Appery.io had done an upgrade to their development app so it now supports iOS 10. Which should be good as I had to do a lot of work arounds beforehand. But it seems that I will now have to do different workarounds instead.

Last year, for the first time ever, I was able to run 10km in under an hour consistently. That was because every time I got stuck running helped me clear my head. So as a result I became really fit.

This year I haven't been able to run. I went ski-ing for a weekend in January and that meant that everything ached.

Anyway, today it was sunny and almost not cold so I did a slow 40 minute run.

I felt much better about the iOS app problems and made progress.

Lesson learnt - gotta keep fit.

Then, this evening I went to a Startup Pitch event featuring businesses from The Netherlands.

I did wonder why I was there as was the person sitting next to me who, it turned out, now works at a VC. Contact was made. I also exchanged cards with a couple of other people.

So worth going but there was no food or alcohol which is very unusual for these events. As a result I am starving.
