Best, team, ever.

I have had enough of the UK's doom and gloom and self flagellation. Starting a weekly good news post. Shipbuilding is so back: 72% growth over the past five years, the ultimate combination of old school traditions and cutting edge tech. Happy Friday all!

Sleeping pods at @SlushHQ , genius!

Public service note on AI predictions. When the big boys AI world pontificate about the future, do remember. Their job is not to get things right. In fact there is almost zero penalty for being off the mark. It is however absolutely their job to sell their services and products.

@mikesaraswat @TamazGeorgadze Will do, thx

@DavidVimes David I would like you to invite @TamazGeorgadze the CEO and Founder of Raisin.

If there were one person from UK / Europe you would want to hear speak in a small fireside-chat environment, who would that be?

We are starting something new!

Happy Friday from the Oasis! Still a few days till the doors are formally open but could not resist and share this photo! Missing from the pucture are our kick ass volunteers and the community mastermind Akhil Menon 🌍 and our partners eOffice team, you are with us in spirit!

We are looking for volunteers in London to help curate what will be one of the most unique tech communities ever assembled. Think Avengers meet Voltrone. If you are London based and have a few hours a week in person to help us out, lets have a chat, pls DM me.

Getting ready for our annual Blue Lake Get Together. Always preferred books as a corporate gift to USB sticks or stress balls.

We are looking for volunteers to become the beating heart of this new international startup hub as community managers. London based, in person, part-time, very flexible. Ping me a DM for more details.

There are events and then there is a Pirate Night!

My views on tech. immigration in the UK gets a mention at @Siftedeu sifted.eu/articles/immig…

International Office Hours are in full swing! Thanks to 60 amazing VC who have joined the initiative we are connecting immigrant founders and the UK tech ecosystems for 1-2-1 meetings. Apply now! internationalfounders.co.uk

Great report from Defiance Capital on spotting a future unicorn startups and why immigrants make great founders. 1. No “plan B” 2. “A chip on the shoulder” 3. Unlimited self belief
