Another one bites the (saw)dust

Sam Dumitriu@Sam_Dumitriu

There is something deeply wrong when a law passed with cross-party consensus and endorsed by Britain's most trusted charities has made it impossible to run an internet forum for hamster owners.

@limebike this is shockingly bad. Ban this user.

Ten years on, this letter still perfectly encapsulates the value of entrepreneurship, the hunger for innovation among consumers, and the entitlement of incumbents

Matt Smith@mattTP

Damn all these entrepreneurs 'arrogantly' disrupting the marketplace and delivering what the customer wants...

@CommunityFibre what a waste of posted marketing collateral! Why even bother?

A remarkably similar change is also taking place in Australia, with @cmack4life leading the fight against it: startupdaily.net/advice/investi… cc @hannahprevett @ChadRenando

❌Bad news for women in the UK: On Jan 31 new legislation comes in increasing barriers to entry for women angel investors. ➡️Now: investors on angel investing platforms have to earn over £100k. ➡️Jan 31: new legislation raises it to £170k. 😡Issue: This will disproportionally impact the size of the pool of female investors in the UK & founders. Less female angels to invest in female founders, who because they only get 2% of VC money, rely heavily on angel funding. 🤯Unfathomable decision that needs urgent reversing pls @KemiBadenoch

Sad and unexpected news. As for many in the entrepreneurship education field, Kate was the first person to welcome me into the @EEUK community 16 years ago. She was a bedrock of the ecosystem and loved by all.

Enterprise Educators@EEUK

Some very sad news this morning. Our deepest condolences to Kate's family from all at EEUK. She will be greatly missed. enterprise.ac.uk/kate-beresford/

@timothy_barnes @ConorGogarty It’s an absolute mess. CH needs KYC for company directors (and should have implemented it over a decade ago)

This is a bonkers piece of money-laundering. Rhos Road is a quiet, nondescript street in the suburbs of Swansea. It also happens to be where 36 fake companies have been registered in the last few weeks. A thread...

@timothy_barnes @CfEntrepreneurs .@artistsmakers @DavidJarratt1 worth keeping an eye out for this upcoming @ukonward research

Timothy Barnes@timothy_barnes·9 Ağu

Very interesting. @mattTP led some work for @CfEntrepreneurs on this topic a couple of years ago and, in particular, the scope for #entrepreneurship to help rejuvenate coastal towns. Much of it has held up well. centreforentrepreneurs.org/cfe-research/f…

Adam Hawksbee@ahawksbee

The pandemic-era boom in "staycations" looked like it would boost England's seaside towns - that now seems to have been a false hope. Research on coastal communities coming from @ukonward soon bloomberg.com/graphics/graph…

Great to see @TheGENUK leading a conversation on refugee entrepreneurship as part of Refugee Week. Entrepreneurship not only offers new opportunities to people forced from their homelands, but brings new thinking and potential to local ecosystems. worldlabs.org/opportunity/re…
