@matthewclifford @ColinGardiner @delingpole is about the highest value angel around

From what I am learning the UK angel investor is a bit of a unicorn.

@ColinGardiner Absolutely loads of great ones! Founders Forum’s list of the 100 most active is a good starting point ff.co/uk-angel-inves…

Congrats to the founding @ereborbank team, @PalmerLuckey, Owen Rapaport, Jacob Hirshman, Trevor Capozza, and Aaron Pelz on launching a bank built for the fast-growing innovation economy across AI, digital assets, aerospace, defense tech and more. We have known Owen since the early days of @HaunVentures and were so impressed with him and his cofounders that we became an early supporter through the Seed, Series A, and now Series B round of Erebor. Doors are open!

@kickso @ConceptVC_ @elevenlabs Welcome to #SiliconVictoria 🚀🚀🚀

Picked up the keys to the @ConceptVC_ new HQ in London today We're opening a physical home for our team, portfolio, and the next generation of founders to build from. 2025 was a landmark year for Concept - closing Fund II and watching portfolio companies like @elevenlabs create entirely new categories. In the year ahead, we will deploy roughly £10M into ~12 teams - all when companies are little more than a Concept. We operate with two simple rules: It is never too early. Whether it’s Day 1 of the year or Day 0 of your journey. We don't need a polished deck or recurring revenue. We like the messy, high-conviction "just an idea" phase. Europe to Global. We are looking for founders based here, but building for the world. If you are obsessed with a problem and ready to build, let’s chat

@alexanderwill @FlexionRobotics $50m is a small ticket for you Alex, looks super cool though, congrats!

Robotics is having its LLM moment. Pumped to support @FlexionRobotics and announce they have raised $50M to build the robotics intelligence layer, the brain that will turn capable machines into adaptable, autonomous systems.

@bayareawriter @FlexionRobotics @alexanderwill @crunchbasenews @rdn_nikita Congratulations Calm president @alexanderwill 🚀🚀🚀🚀🤖🤖🤖

Fascinating startup alert. Founded by ex-Nvidia researchers, @FlexionRobotics just raised $50M to build "the brain for humanoid and human-capable robots." Fun fact: Calm President @alexanderwill sits on its board. Read more in the @crunchbasenews article link in comments.

@kickso @ConceptVC_ Congratulations!

Excited to announce Concept II 🚀 (@ConceptVC_) 💰 $88m dedicated Pre-Seed fund 🌍 50 new investments in 4 years, across Europe ⚡ Backing the ridiculously ambitious with European DNA 🎯 From audio AI → defence → consumer & beyond Thanks to all who made this possible.

@AFitzgerald1992 @RachelReevesMP @IsembardGroup 🚀

I can confirm @RachelReevesMP is a fan of @IsembardGroup

What a year at Lenkie.... 🔥 2024 has been an incredible year. We're unbelievably proud to support so many amazing businesses across the country with millions in funding and unlocked huge opportunities for growth. 📈 None of this would have been possible without the support of our amazing partners, customers, and incredible team — you’re the driving force behind our mission. Thank you for being part of our journey! As we set our sights on an even bigger 2025, we couldn’t resist jumping on the year-end trend. Here’s our very own Lenkie Wrapped! 🎁 🥳

Fascinating Tether anecdote: On a recent state visit to Iran, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko couldn't pay ahead of time for logistics, since both Lukashenko and Iran are sanctioned. Their solution? "Please check if you can pay tether."

@samuelross 🥴 amazing

@delingpole “It’s particularly surprising that despite numerous past lessons, like the TSB IT migration disaster in 2018 that affected millions of customers of the UK bank, a staggered software rollout was not employed.”

@samuelross 😜

@delingpole Hmm I’m not sure we can blame this all on regulators.

@samuelross Microsoft is required to let third parties have kernel level access as a matter of competition regulation: part of its interoperability agreement with the EU in 2009 required that any APIs that its own security products and features used had to be offered to third parties.

@delingpole This angle re antitrust is interesting though thurrott.com/cloud/305830/c…

@alexgkendall @wayve_ai @SoftBank_Group @Microsoft @nvidia Congratulations!

Today is a significant milestone for @wayve_ai, as we proudly announce our $1.05 billion Series C from @SoftBank_Group, @Microsoft and @nvidia. Since the start we've held a contrarian belief that end-to-end AI will make autonomy possible. I'm excited about this massive endorsement of our vision and the opportunity to launch our first Embodied AI product for automotive. Here's our full press release: wayve.ai/press/series-c/

@nickphking Congrats!

🚨🚨 Personal News 🚨🚨 We’re going to need a bigger boat.

@Jeremy_Hunt Amazing outcome! 👏

This morning, the Government and the Bank of England facilitated a private sale of Silicon Valley Bank UK to HSBC Deposits will be protected, with no taxpayer support I said yesterday that we would look after our tech sector, and we have worked urgently to deliver that promise

@Benji_Fernandes Congrats!

2022 reflections for NALA 🧵 #TheNALATeam at the beginning of 2022 👀 A lot has happened since then, and as we prepare for our biggest year yet, I wanted to take the time to share some of my reflections from the last 12 months. Jan 2022: 7 people Jan 2023: 72 people

@zedtarar @ComplyAdvantage Thank you!

@ComplyAdvantage @delingpole Nicely done @delingpole. I was just at the G20 and one of the points in the final declaration was on strengthening the travel rule and FATF. Stopping bad guys from exploiting the financial system means using the best tools available.

📣 Our Founder and Executive Chairman, @delingpole spoke to the Financial Times about applying AI to the war on financial crime. Read the full article below ⤵️ okt.to/0QvPEu
