@shashj @soundboy Agreed. Incredible dedication to public service, which we could well do more of across the board.

@SrikarDR @Pathfounders Ah ha! Thanks mate!

[Mike Butcher (BlueSky/Threads: @mikebutcher) @mikebutcher]

@Jameswise I applaud the initiative for startups, but unfortunately this cuts off a potential revenue stream for startup media brands like @Pathfounders. It’s also competing with @SebJohnsonUK and @ScalingEurope as Seb has a newly launched job board. Will this be up long term?

Apoha, which is developing a "Liquid State Intelligence" data layer to measure molecules in the real world, emerges from stealth with $36M led by Singular (@mikebutcher / Pathfounders)

Great to interview Apoha founders. Podcast coming soon! (Have to say that as a journalist who now also does social and podcasts, as well as writing, @sxswlndn is way better set up than @LDNTechWeek. Last year LTW had a tiny windowless room for press, and no podcast facilities….)

@Fremond_ France and Germany alone are significant! They and others are likely to copy S/EIS. Spanish VC is on fire. Italy is getting its shit together. Countries don’t wait for the EU.
