@unbundledvc And that's amazing that you'll be supporting someone through mentoring, very rewarding and it will be so great for them!!

[Gaiaines @Gaiaines]

@unbundledvc Depending on their age, they might not have figured out/know how to explicit what they want and might need your support to identify that. You could start with - what brought about the idea of having a mentor for you? Strength-based mentoring resources are great btw!

@unbundledvc @nano_fund @thisiskp_ @landon__sanford @Deep__Kakkad @chris8fernandes @dmschetnikovich Very cool to see you on the same panel as @thisiskp_ - the build in public guru who introduced me to this powerful practice!

@unbundledvc I puzzled as to why they would not accept a call. If you have a motivation to connect to someone on LinkedIn, the same motivation should be there for a 2-way conversation with that person. But maybe that's (very) old school thinking...

I think we can do better

Can tech improve low-paid and precarious work? Our investors @res_foundation have published an Interim Impact Report sharing their learning so far from investing in us and other Workertech ventures : https://t.co/zSHqSbQBO8

My ring just got broken in a handshake. The chap is fantastic. His handshake needs work, though.

@cyberdees @farahchaudhry @RockmanLaw @swarnali_mitra @TMouganie @Kay_Hartigan So what's the venue? :)

I just added an AI-generated column to my Product Discovery log and I am feeling scared...

"Without tension, there can't be intention" - you are a poet, @paigepolk . We work on tension lines, decision cliffs, career choices, with young people every day. What beauty comes from the dialogue around those and framing fears into needs and shoulds into coulds.

[Gaiaines @Gaiaines]

What we also learmed from our young people is the confidence-building experience of extracting and seeing what skills they have gained both from curriculum and extracurricial activities, raising their aspirations, Ufi's @HelenGironi herself calling this out as an opportunity.

[Gaiaines @Gaiaines]

The skill gap is a £6bn opportunity in the UK alone: "We need more tools to map skills-based learning pathways to students' target jobs so we can put power back in their hands", Nic Newman from @emergelab summarising the opportunity in this space.

Watch this space for Ikigai Data's new product drop! Putting the data and the power back in the hands of young people so they can make more informed education and career decisions.

"Ask a student what they want, learning but no degree. Or a degree but no learning. Guess what they will choose?" Ed Fidoe at @weareLIS challenging Higher Ed's unbundling with degree-based courses and student experience as the competitive advantage still.

"Conversations with students still tell me they are making an assumption about what career they are starting after studies". #careerwellness nees a complete re-do, driven by data and personalisation. Fascinating Fireside chat with @MaryCurnockCook + Rajay Naik at @holoniq summit

"The feast and famine cleanse out the lot that are not entrepreneurs". Michael's a gift that keeps on giving! At @holoniq #Holoniqlondonsummit

"How do we entrepreneurs call Venture Capital? Vulture Capital" Muchael Gorton, co-founder of @RecuroHealth telling it how it is from death by spreadsheets to inflated valuations and, the sad truth, downrounds.

[Gaiaines @Gaiaines]

@LordJimKnight This is so, so sad. I wish that other than @RealGeoffBarton's quote on much needed reforms, the @guardian also included examples where innovation did drive positive change...
