Quote in @FT a few days ago on the real shortage of new UK tech "unicorns" and the challenges still facing UK tech @aliya__ram on.ft.com/2mT85rC #uktech #unicorns

UK must act now to maintain tech lead ahead of Germany: Govt report on tech reports belies the truth. My op ed in today’s @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/we-mus…

Germany quietly surging past the UK, France in # of developers, will lead to sharp rise in VC €, will transform European tech #vc #europeantech #germantech #Germanvc bit.ly/2zDd0kZ

@British_Airways read multiposts afr tweeting. You’re not in airline biz, but in cust svc biz. £m’s Rev over 25 yrs. gold card. I’ll be doing a post on BA’s decline, my last reached 25m. Now must Pref @VirginAtlantic. I’ll tell you what happened if you care.

@British_Airways destroyed rel w/this LT gold card holder, ur own agents @ LHR, JFK incredulous. Check my name, ref beg K end R to see unnecessary damage, reassess approach to us ur best custs + ur rate team operation + flex you give sr agents, Or I shift to better airlines.

Really interesting follow-on to my @TechCrunch article on implosion of early-stage VC from @DannyCrichton tcrn.ch/2nurmDx: success helps create the vacuum

Great reflections @Fredwilson & @Jason on my @TechCrunch article. tcrn.ch/2j6vvJ5. Also worth noting, ICO's don't explain drop in VC rounds. ICO's only 2017 phenomenon; far fewer # than $. Meanwhile 9,000 fewer funding rounds now than 2014.

@bruce_lambert @TechCrunch There is a lot of truth to your comment

@dmeyer08 @TechCrunch ICO/crypto has had some effect, but 19,000 rounds have dropped to 10,000, there are far too few ICO's to have a huge impact on the volumes here. Its fascinating, but not so material to this analysis

@eileentso @kadhimshubber and what valuation 😉, I'm aiming this at 2017 investors, 2017 valuations. Fair pt re customer delight, my riposte: now many 'disruptors' can deliver similarly great customer delight. Cust. experience will soon become a commodity. Valuations don't price that.

UK digital banks face huge challenges even as they raise unprecedented amounts of capital, my piece just published in @FTAlphaville on.ft.com/2zSowhd @kadhimshubber

America far more important to British tech than the EU is on.ft.com/2vuMvMI, My post in @FTAlphaville, thx @kadhimshubber
