It is high time for Oasis international founder community to meet up!

No, not for a networking (gods no!), but for an evening of meaningful connections, new friends and where "give" comes way before "ask".

April 30th, RSVP https://t.co/1dy8veqWfJ

Best, team, ever.

I have had enough of the UK's doom and gloom and self flagellation. Starting a weekly good news post.

Shipbuilding is so back: 72% growth over the past five years, the ultimate combination of old school traditions and cutting edge tech.

Happy Friday all!

Sleeping pods at @SlushHQ , genius!

Public service note on AI predictions. When the big boys AI world pontificate about the future, do remember. Their job is not to get things right. In fact there is almost zero penalty for being off the mark.

It is however absolutely their job to sell their services and products.

We are looking for volunteers in London to help curate what will be one of the most unique tech communities ever assembled. Think Avengers meet Voltrone.

If you are London based and have a few hours a week in person to help us out, lets have a chat, pls DM me.

Getting ready for our annual Blue Lake Get Together. Always preferred books as a corporate gift to USB sticks or stress balls.

[David Gilgur @DavidVimes]

We are looking for volunteers to become the beating heart of this new international startup hub as community managers. London based, in person, part-time, very flexible. Ping me a DM for more details.
