Love this!
Today I attended a startupโ€™s โ€˜board meetingโ€™ in London but the thing is, this startup doesnโ€™t have an official BOD. Instead, they invite a rotating group of current and potential investors, mentors and super-fans to attend these quarterly meetings where they discuss strategy and receive feedback. Super unique and refreshing format for early stage founders, Iโ€™m totally into it ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

What an absolute delight to be reunited with Maha Gadher at @thenextweb. Maha was the powerhouse behind so much of our partnerships magic at Tech Nation, and is now doing great things at @Techleapnl as they build the Dutch ecosystem. Iโ€™m loving hearing about their approach.

Excited to see the @StartupCltn rebrand and this report on the top 50 startup constituencies in the UK Yet again Manchester is top ranking outside of London (and the only non-London constituency to make it into the top 10 ๐Ÿš€ )
Replying to @StartupCltn
The report weโ€™re launching alongside our rebrand highlights how far weโ€™ve come - in the top 50 constituencies for startups that we outline, every nation and region in the UK is represented. drive.google.com/file/d/1wZtโ€ฆ
