Truly bloody awful service experience with @British_Airways yet again. Everyone get things wrong sometimes but BA add insult to injury by then failing to address issues proactively / making it so hard for customers to seek redress (even when travelling First). Dumb.
Good to catch up @agoldfisher – at Kensington, London
Thankyou @GPBullhound – at Kensington, London
Congratulations again to @SC_Chandler of @NotionCapital who won Investor of the Year earlier this month. The #InvestorAllstars community voted for Stephen as its star investor for leading investments in well-known companies such as Panaseer & Go Cardless.hubs.ly/H0yWsTj0
The more I hear about #FutureFund the less fit for purpose it sounds. Can Treasury lawyers really turn a great (and critically needed) idea into a White Elephant, simply due to outdated StateAid rules and petty bureaucracy? Let’s hope the rumours are unfounded. – at Kensington, London
Great news. Agree private sector matching is req'd to ensure good decisions but would rather see more flex on structure / ratio. Fear that rounds that will get done anyway just get bigger vs genuinely saving cos without options in C-19 liquidity squeeze. tcrn.ch/2xxNSBj

Those who claim that a Universal Quantum Computer is far away do not consider history. When practically unlimited money meets the best talent and a clear objective, it’s astonishing how quickly things change. Google’s Supremacy tells us it’s now just about industrialisation.
Didn't IEEE just publish an article by some guy claiming quantum computers would never work?

Excellent evening hosted by @PaddleHQ, during which @NotionVC's @SC_Chandler shared his SaaS Story, building Message Labs into a global business & exiting for $700m! Find out more from our #BusinessLaw solicitor James who attended on his LinkedIn page. bit.ly/2IP4aZw
Excellent video but I can’t take the credit. You mean my esteemed colleague @NotionVC @stephen_millard – at Wandsworth, London
Building a $100m SaaS business? Think people, purpose & product.

Wow - the biggest slice of humble pie I have seen from a newspaper. apple.news/AFXctvuiNQ22WoqO-…
Really excited to announce these 3 new team members @NotionVC notion.vc/insights/notion-ex…

Value is created in a startup when you solve a really hard problem for a customer in an insanely elegant way. Scaling is somehow continuing to do this despite the constant threats that get in the way.

99% of entrepreneurs shouldn’t raise venture capital.
- It limits exit opportunities
- It puts a timeline on the business
- It requires a 5x greater exit to make the same founder money
- Most markets aren’t winner take all
Time spent raising money is better spent with customers
For all #Wonga’s sins, at least they didn’t harass me with cold calls perpetually to peddle their dubious wares - UNLIKE the plethora of claims management companies who pushed them under. – at Kensington, London
Congrats to @NotionVC portfolio company @dealflo on their successful sale to @VASCODataNews (NASDAQ:VDSI). We have enjoyed the journey together immensely and wish you every success in the future bit.ly/2IUijWN
