Time for a “CopyLeft AI Data License” - if this data is used to train an AI model, then the model must open its source code and its weights.

Founders and GP colleagues: now is a good time to share a quick update about your SVB risk exposure to your investors. Don't be reactive, send that mass email right now.

UK government rightly wants Britain to be one of the world’s great tech ecosystems. First priority: ensuring that thousands of UK startups make payroll this month. No bailout for SVB shareholders, but if depositors can’t access funds, the startup ecosystem is decimated.

I really did enjoy that one weekend in the last 3 years where it felt like the global pandemic was slowing down and we didn’t yet have a bear market, major war in Europe, crypto meltdown and the entire startup ecosystem at risk overnight.

100% correct. Reality is all the regulated high street banks in the UK don't want deposits. SVB was the only regulated option for most of these companies...

We've been quiet for a loooong time. Super excited to get this out there. Team crushed it!

Riiiiiiiiiiight. What about the rest of our data that was used to train your models? To be clear, I use chatGPT. But I do it knowing I'm the product.

Absolute legend. Pay attention 👇

Don’t build confidence. Build evidence. Confidence comes as a result of evidence. Not the other way around.

Founders, please create a "Do Not Talk List". It consists of any VC that has backed any competitor in your space. Competitor is defined as a company that targets the same budget you target. There's no point talking to the DNT list. You're deal will never pass IC anyway.
