Quote in @FT a few days ago on the real shortage of new UK tech "unicorns" and the challenges still facing UK tech @aliya__ram https://t.co/2cBrv0vyLJ #uktech#unicorns
UK must act now to maintain tech lead ahead of Germany: Govt report on tech reports belies the truth. My op ed in today’s @thetimes https://t.co/dd19oVGwEt

Really interesting follow-on to my @TechCrunch article on implosion of early-stage VC from @DannyCrichton https://t.co/u0mVENrEEm: success helps create the vacuum
Great reflections @Fredwilson & @Jason on my @TechCrunch article. https://t.co/KZePRnYwNG. Also worth noting, ICO's don't explain drop in VC rounds. ICO's only 2017 phenomenon; far fewer # than $. Meanwhile 9,000 fewer funding rounds now than 2014.
@dmeyer08@TechCrunch ICO/crypto has had some effect, but 19,000 rounds have dropped to 10,000, there are far too few ICO's to have a huge impact on the volumes here. Its fascinating, but not so material to this analysis
@eileentso@kadhimshubber and what valuation 😉, I'm aiming this at 2017 investors, 2017 valuations. Fair pt re customer delight, my riposte: now many 'disruptors' can deliver similarly great customer delight. Cust. experience will soon become a commodity. Valuations don't price that.
UK digital banks face huge challenges even as they raise unprecedented amounts of capital, my piece just published in @FTAlphaville https://t.co/WiNXYUJ9ax @kadhimshubber
