I had fun judging the HEC Paris Business School UK #startup launchpad 2021. Best of luck to all 6 finalists, in particular the team behind Sibyl whom I had the pleasure to mentor!

Relieved to see Francois Fillon resign from his roles in Russia and to hear Jean-Luc Melenchon condemn the invasion of Ukraine - at last!!

Just read in the Financial Times that the Diia app, the Ukrainian government portal for digital documents such as Covid passes, was used to allow citizens to upload Russian army locations. Smart. #govtech

Meanwhile in the UK… Less than 200,000 overwhelmingly middle class, white and over 50 males are choosing the next Prime Minister. Still can’t get my head around this.

Yesterday I had the pleasure & honour of interviewing Jacques Attali for Frenchfounders . We talked about experts vs politicians, a divided yet strong Europe, Russia, China & how to deal with their belligerent leaders, why invest in the economy of life (education, clean energy).
