Looking forward to my first talk of the decade for Sheffield Technology Parks in Feb. Topic: How VCs make money and why you should care. Aimed at early stage, high growth potential founders. If you don't come for me, come for the free lunch eventbrite.co.uk/e/lunch-learn-… #venturecapital #vc

It seems #NorthernRail have just fully given up - "The train to Crew has been cancled. This is due to a fault on this train... that has now been fixed!" - Privatisation when there's no ability for competition is just a recipe for complacency and poor service.

The lack of seed stage venture capital in most cities is crazy to me. Once a company has traction, it can get attention from VCs across the world. But at inception, a lack of local capital makes it very hard to get off the ground. I'm bullish that this will improve in the 2020s.

I hate it when people actively choose to speak in riddles to try and make themselves sound more intelligent. - Stop trying so hard to be the smartest person in the room, its so counterproductive!

Hot take: get your own office 1. Take pride in having your name on the door 2. Feel the pressure of keeping the lights on 3. Design a space that's true to your culture Avoid spaces that make it too easy to throw in the towel when things get tough

I am of the belief that pitch competitions and startup battles are bad for entrepreneurship. Starting a company is not about winning a pitch competition it’s about building a meaningful business that adds value to your customers.

Well, that's a cheap way to get on the property ladder... just a shame it doesn't come with a ladder. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Thank you to Accelerate ME & AME for having me as a mentor. I'm always blown away by how much you guys do to support and grow early stage talent.

The next generation of #venturecapital is diverse. It starts here. #ILookLikeaVC #IWD2020 #InternationalWomensDay #EachForEqual #WomenInVC #StudentVC

It may turn out that everyone (particularly students) being stuck at home causes net more good startups to be founded. Microsoft and Facebook were both started during Reading Period at Harvard, because that was when the founders had time to work on their own projects.

We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong. imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial…

THIS THIS THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS. Please watch and share. Brilliantly and simply put.

One for Landscape sifted.eu/articles/softb… - I've had my fair share of "power play" meetings with VCs, such an odd mentality to have in an industry which is so people focused.
