Head of Client Lifecycle Management @HSBCInnovation formally SVB UK. Working with the most innovative companies, entrepreneurs & funds in the world. My views.
Such sad news. Steve was truly one of the legends of the UK tech scene - very much there from its early days and broke so many of the biggest stories. Will be sadly missed.
News I never wanted to be sharing 💔
Legendary tech journalist Steve O'Hear has died. Steve was a friend and mentor to many of us at Sifted, and we'll dearly miss him.

@rsohoni@seedcamp Ha! That early exposure to the ecosystem genuinely changed my life! I remember giving out iPod Shuffles to the 6 winners at '09 - incredible growth since then and so pleased for you and the team.
Congrats to the whole team @seedcamp! Truly one of the OGs - one of the 1st networking events I attended was Open Coffee in '08 and the 1st demo day I attended was Seedcamp '09 (in a UCL lecture theatre!). Playing it forward is an understatement. Amazing news for the ecosystem.
NEW: @seedcamp raises its 6th fund, at double the size of its last, to "defend" its positions in startups for longer.
I spoke to @rsohoni@SiaHouchangnia & @Natashalytton about what's changed since the last fund:

@fstonehythedc Hi - I went to log the missed collection, but I can’t per the below photo. This isn’t accurate as the bin was put out the night before and I suspect all the neighbours did the same as their brown bins and xmas trees are also outside their houses - please can you arrange?
