Invited @pjparson to a Brunch with @Siftedeu – great to hear stories about how he dealt with a "real-deal mob guy" in Orlando, how @northzoneVC was turned down by @Klarna and why @eldsjal (Daniel Ek) is a mental model for him. #nordicmade https://t.co/p4DToDWiqq
Hiring managers — one for you. Ravio has just raised a $10m seed round from @northzoneVC to build a salary / equity / benefits benchmarking platform.
If this works out, I can see it becoming VERY useful — but it needs to get hold of a lot of data first.

Today, EU+UK universities have the ingredients to be spinout powerhouses: world-leading research, ambitious academics, and VC funding.
Instead, our unis propagate an unproductive downward spiral of short-termism that hamstrings founders.
