Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer
I don’t know about you all, but this week I've been thinking about summer holidays a lot. I’ve been working pretty much non-stop for the last 2 years, and I need a break. Plus, the lack of sun in London doesn’t help. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
It’s the end of Q1, and I hope many of you who are fundraising are getting close to closing your SEIS/EIS rounds. Keep chasing those checks because in Q2 there will be a slowdown again in investment activity (unless you are obviously attending our investor & founder conference on 22 Apr😉).
Anyway, enjoy the image of the summer beach for now because if you're reading this newsletter, it’s the max sun you’ll get this and next week. And enjoy the events I’ve single-handedly fished out for you.
🔥FEATURED EVENT🔥
