Ten years ago, we invested in @faculty_ai at seed, when the team was just ten people. Today, they announced their acquisition by @Accenture. A huge moment.

Thanks so much to everyone who came down to our latest Open Court - fascinating talks and an inspiring crowd! Keep an eye out for our next one on 27th November!

@Kitty_Mayo_ @jade_yarrow Lovely having you. You’re welcome back anytime!

You never appreciate what's on your doorstep. We are trying to change that. When @jade_yarrow and I are traveling around Europe, we meet so many new people, work from new places and take the time to explore the ecosystem. But in London, we have the tendency to stay in our office and get our heads down. We achieve this by inviting ourselves to other people’s offices. Often they are confused “don’t you have an office of your own?”. Today’s victims are the @localglobevc team (thank you @tom_lambert3 💖) at @phxcrtworks .

2) I've written about why we're so excited and what we've been seeing. Please take a read! Let’s Lean into Europe’s Complexity: @tomlambert/lets-lean-into-europe-s-complexity-18c69fa94331" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@tomlambert/le…

1)Europe is fragmented, complex to operate in, and largely made up of traditional industries. Many companies here missed the SaaS revolution entirely. But we think it's precisely these conditions that will foster some of the largest and most enduring AI applications globally.

Broad VC support for a purchase & recapitalisation of SVB-UK as indicated in this joint statement - @TechLondonAdv @GlobalTechAdv @vc_tla @localglobevc @atomico @join_ef @seedcamp @pinksaltvc @stride_vc @firstminutecap @IndexVentures @OutsizedVC @OMERSVentures @Accel

@HarryStebbings Imagine if you took that a step further and started a whole business around talking to other VCs!

The single fastest way to see what type of VC an individual is: Ask to see their calendar. Compare their amount of founder meetings to VC meetings. Blows my mind how many VCs have coffee meetings just with other VCs most of the time… 😮
