At @ConductAI we've grown like crazy! Not long ago @mikolaj_power and I were onsite building server racks(ish) for shiny GPUs.
Now we've just raised $60m to build the AI Operating System for Enterprise Software with a team of London's smartest and funniest builders!
If you love winning, we're hiring in LDN/NYC! Come take a seat at the winning table 👇

I spent the last few weeks crowdsourcing the ultimate guide to London’s startup ecosystem. Here's why.
Finding your people is a lifelong mission- the people that push you, open doors for you, celebrate your wins, advise you sincerely and say yes to your crazy ideas. It’s one of the reasons people love San Francisco. Everyone is rooting for you and believes in you. There is a sense of wild ambition.
But is this something only unique to SF? What is/was London missing?
I think it really came down to a few things:
- Optimism
- A mindset of waiting for permission
- Lack of a catalyst
Those in the startup world would have felt a shift over the past couple of months that has instilled a renewed sense of optimism for Britain, a mentality of not waiting for anyone’s permission and the catalyst of the AI boom empowering a new generation of builders.
And surprisingly, this isn’t new for Britain. We made the jet engine, steam trains, discovered the structure of DNA, discovered gravity and so much more. There was no concept of permission.
The UK that exists today has:
- Anthropic, OpenAI and DeepMind all opening offices in Kings Cross
- Startups raising absurd rounds building generational companies (just 2 days ago Fractile raised a $220m Series B)
- Unmatched talent being pulled in from Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, Warwick, Kings and even European universities like ETH
So how can someone get involved and how can we level the playing field for those outside the startup ecosystem?
The guide friends and I created below is our small role in helping democratise some of the obscure information on the inner workings of London’s startup scene.
Read it, add to it, check it regularly and most importantly, do something with it. I hope this guide helps people for years to come.
Can’t wait to see what we do on top of all the infrastructure built by those before us. We’re truly standing on the shoulders of giants. 🔥

This is actually insane. I'm beyond shocked right now.
Dr @ayokhalil8 is literally one of the most peaceful people I know.
He exercises restraint in the most intense of situations.
A doctor being arrested for protesting medical attention for a hunger strike is the most insane thing for the police to do.

🚨 Dr Ayo Moiett was arrested outside HMP Bronzefield while protesting for medical attention for a hunger striker. Protesters say police said the doctor was arrested for “assaulting an officer”, but protesters deny this.

Agent Builder by @OpenAI has generated a lot of excitement. But it doesn't solve the biggest problem in building Automations!
You still have to:
🔹 Architecture a solution
🔹 Configure nodes
🔹 Carry the full cognitive load
At CodeWords, we believe the future isn't about building automation; it's about describing it!
I explore this fundamental shift and what we're building at CodeWords in this blog post:
