@eurofounder I love your posts - so brilliant

I declined the most insane job offer today Senior engineer position at the most prominent French AI startup €48,000 per year When a recruiter messaged me on LinkedIn, I literally collapsed I've never seen a salary this high in Europe I eagerly visited their website, and just like that, the bubble burst "Custom AI models for enterprise clients" - their slogan I immediately faxed the recruiter to withdraw my application How could I ever work for an AI company? AI is not real technology It's just a fancy autocomplete with American marketing Blockchain, cloud computing, AI - it's all the same scam Real technology is being built by Siemens, not AI startups

@MilaLovesJoe She’s beautiful

Whats the first thing you think of when you see Monica Lewinsky?

@hkanji @MayorofLondon @metpoliceuk Crap - that’s awful.

Petty crime in London is out of control @MayorofLondon. My phone was snatched at approx 10:15pm walking home behind the British Museum. Two men on a moped. I got slightly dragged and ended up with a ton of cuts/bruises/scrapes. Reported it to @metpoliceuk. Officers finally turned up at 12:50am. Said they won't do anything although one saw my arm and said that makes it more of a robbery. Other officer said technically no. This is becoming more and more common in Central London. Noticeable deterioration of safety. And no one cares.

@Vivek4real_ No

Michael Saylor is the new Warren Buffett. Like if you agree. #Bitcoin

@crypto_birb I must be no brain. See neither

@TheMoonCarl Dream on

Imagine we wake up on March 7th, the day of the crypto summit, and the price of Bitcoin is at $130,000 ☺️

@ar_web3 @TheMoonCarl Totally true

@TheMoonCarl Bad advice. Biggest mistake is not to sell early. I have held and got rekt.

BITCOIN IS GOING TO $750,000 ETH IS GOING TO $18,000 GIGA ALTSEASON IS COMING THIS YEAR YOU WILL AT LEAST 10X YOUR NET WORTH BIGGEST MISTAKE IS TO SELL TOO EARLY

@jefielding Sad to see.

I’m hearing more and more stories of founders in the community who committed fraud (juicing their numbers mostly) because they felt under extreme pressure to succeed. Zirp days = growth at all costs. I feel badly for these founders but also sad that they lost their way…

@rod_mallo Marmite

@Zenon_Citium @JayRocks143 How long is this period in time?

@JayRocks143 We are at point (c) where the slope becomes close to zero, that's why the S2F model is dead, but it will come back to life when we have gone through this section of zero slope.

Holding #Bitcoin blindly was a success last decade, it won't be this decade, and it will be again next decade.

@rod_mallo The UK

@Maren_Bannon @seedcamp @AscensionGrp @ConceptVC_ @ReventVC @Cornerstone_LDN @pinksaltvc @adaventures @cocoadotvc @Tiny_VC @7pcventures @OctopusVentures We do at Outsized Ventures

I'm creating a list for founders: which funds *truly* invest in UK pre-seed startups? @seedcamp @AscensionGrp @ConceptVC_ @ReventVC @Cornerstone_LDN @pinksaltvc @adaventures @cocoadotvc @Tiny_VC @7pcventures @OctopusVentures first check fund Pls add any I'm missing! 🙏🏽

@HarryStebbings And if they ask for a fee

Founders, if a VC does either of these two elements in the fundraising process; run. It will only be harder over time. 1. They suggest the investment be done in tranches. NEVER at early stage. 2. They haggle on founder salary to tiny proportions. Run on both. 🏃‍♂️ 🚗 ✈️

@rod_mallo Governance seems outdated in venture these days…think we need a new type of visionary founder and not Adam or Sam.

@hazelmulhare @rod_mallo @constanza_dg So true…wish I had learnt that earlier

@rod_mallo don’t bleach your hair cc @constanza_dg 🤦🏼‍♀️
