Just closing my first @tracer_light SPV using @VAUBANDOTIO. I've raised $750k as part of a series A ($40m+ round). It's been a really interesting experience & I'll share my learnings soon
My team is growing again @weareuncapped!
We're looking for somebody to lead our relationships with VC's & investors in the US. Let me know if this is you or somebody you know
We're growing very quickly in the US & we see it as the future of the company

Chatted to a founder who recently sold his company. They had raised💰from the @Future_Fund_UK...
They had a 'total nightmare' getting the Future Fund to sign on the dotted line
They were slow, unresponsive and nearly killed the deal. Hopefully just teething probs🤞
