Really excited to share what our amazing teams have accomplished over the last 5 months. Spoiler: We've had a one or two pivots.

Congratulations Mark Fosdike and Datch Systems 🙌

So excited to be working with these awesome teams from on our investment focused Accelerator starting in September!

Some potentially good news for a change. If you're a tech(ish) start up based North of the Tyne, and doesn't know what any of that means, you can book a call with me here: calendly.com/jo-ignite/pre-… seedlegals.com/resources/use-…

After sending a no email to a founder today, I got this back: "Thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated your straightforward response. And the feedback is super helpful!" I wish all VCs (& LPs for that matter) aimed to give a fast yes / no - it's the least we can do. ✨✨

So excited to start working with these teams next week!

I came across a word recently that really encapsulated my thoughts on building ecosystems that drive change. As it seems to be resonating with others, I thought I'd share it... linkedin.com/posts/joyork_i…
