I came across a word recently that really encapsulated my thoughts on building ecosystems that drive change.
As it seems to be resonating with others, I thought I'd share it...

Love this! Nice work Charlotte Windebank and the FIRST team. Another brilliant programme funded North of Tyne Combined Authority.
Many more people could have successful business, but don't know it yet.

After sending a no email to a founder today, I got this back:
"Thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated your straightforward response. And the feedback is super helpful!"
I wish all VCs (& LPs for that matter) aimed to give a fast yes / no - it's the least we can do. ✨✨

So proud of @millyshaw killing it at @ButtonConf!
We all know how useful feedback is, yet it's often tricky to navigate.

On the #Button2022 main stage, @millyshaw shows how to get the right feedback, from the right people, at the right time. Taking all the notes... ✍️

Some potentially good news for a change.
If you're a tech(ish) start up based North of the Tyne, and doesn't know what any of that means, you can book a call with me here: calendly.com/jo-ignite/pre-a…
