Managing time efficiently

I will teach you how to manage your time efficiently

It was a sarcastic title as I have no idea how, lol. One day I will tell you, but today is not that day.

Our big event is 4 days away (yay!), but it feels like the more I work, the more work I need to do. I hope that all the time I spent on this over the last 4 months (about 1,344 hours per my calculations) will pay off on Monday. All I want is for the attendees to get value out of what we did and for founders to get the investments eventually.

Creating something new is never easy, but I think we got it. Will tell you more next week.

For those who are new to this newsletter, on the 22nd we are hosting London’s largest demo day where 100 founders will pitch to investors.

Almost 700 attendees so far (30% investors, 40% founders, with the rest being media, operators, governments, startup employees). Right now we only have a few investor tickets available and a few tickets for the evening drinks reception where we will be running our famous open mic pitching sessions.

The Rise of Private Wealth in M&A - And How to Position Yourself
