The State of European Tech team would love your help understanding this year in tech. The report is incredibly valuable, but only as good as the responses we get. Respondents can have their name in the report & 3 winners can join our launch event in Dec!

Loneliness is as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes per day. But there are steps we can take to fix (male) loneliness. @maxdickins has the answers.

Thanks @ericaeyoung @atomico too for highlighting this widespread problem - and some solutions.

@esdaniel @BenBrabyn @AndyLopata @OliBarrett @WHYComms @dataphilosopher @adrianjones1984 @RussShaw1 Maybe there is a Yiddish or Hindi word that captures this because matchmaking in both a marriage and business sense is so prevalent in both cultures. Social alchemy isn't half bad though ;).

On the dusty shelves of a Fujian library this summer, I came across an essay written by a young Xi Jinping soon after the bloody Tiananmen crackdown in 1989. It was a hint of how the first serious crisis of his career may have informed his worldview. (1/x)

Billy No Mates came out today after 2.5 years of toil. If it's good it's because I didn't give up. But also because of the input of some brilliant people. 👏👏👏👇

[Max Dickins @maxdickins]

Also @ericaeyoung sent me off in all sorts of interesting directions and was a great sounding board.

@sanyalpritish @drishtiispeaks Ha, thanks Pritish! I do have some simple recommendations:
1. Ask for direct intros from your network
2. Attend niche public events (e.g. <50 people meet up about something you love to geek out about)
3. Join online communities/events that offer automated 1:1 matching

Inspired by @alexfmac and his Marketplace Library, I've gathered all my favourite links on building #community & understanding #networks into The Reliants Project Library. What's missing? https://t.co/PhIkO2Ejof @marcventresca @BenBrabyn @ZahraDavidson @Rships_Project @ConnorPM
