@LogTechEric @sednanetwork @insightpartners @wfdobie @JOC_Updates Great writeup.

Just posted: my story on @sednanetwork’s new $34M funding round, led by @insightpartners. Sedna founder @wfdobie’s view is that email isn’t built for complex distributed industries like logistics, but it’s also impossible to dislodge. joc.com/technology/inv… @JOC_Updates

@wfdobie @chalfs @travismonson @rebeccaliudoyle @KeithWallington @fdestin I like our logo in SEDNA yellow :-)

Entreprise messaging stalwart @sednanetwork is now one of our biggest positions after a $34M Series B led by @insightpartners as the company expands beyond shipping & logistics (Norden), commodities (Glencore) into new areas like banking (Starling). Watch this space.

Super excited to see this news come out today. @cleo_sham is a world-class operator and will be a phenomenal addition to the @stride_vc team, showing the world her investing skills. Bravo @fdestin some very exciting times ahead and as you say... Onwards... 😉

Pumped to build with @cleo_sham. We got lucky.

1/ Let me distill the Stride investment strategy in fifteen tweets. Yes, fifteen 😘.

Best thing about starting @stride_vc has been quality of investment discussions with @HarryStebbings. We push back on each other with a smile, we go deep, we explore issues, we enhance each other. We simply come to better decisions together without drama. It feels good.

First unicorn a little earlier than planned 🧐 Now on to Moolah in Da Coolah. sifted.eu/articles/cazoo…
