@zoescaman Our lil girl is 20mo old now… been hard (esp. during pandemic isolation) not to dwell too much on the world we’ve brought her into. Trump, Russia, Brexit, inequalities… whatever yr politics, there’s so much division, dysfunction + hate.🤞 we raise her to be part of a solution.

@zoescaman Wouldn’t presume to offer advice, but would HIGHLY recommend getting a few of these bad boys in the fridge. There are cheaper versions but for occasional/urgent use only, they can be lifesavers. Congrats and good luck!! 🙌

Check out @maijapalmer with @Siftedeu’s latest #FutureProof #chartoftheweek – corporate venture capital not so much the poor cousin…

[Sifted @Siftedeu]

Venture capital investment has increased 10-fold in the last decade — and corporate VC’s share of that total has increased even faster. 📈

So, what does that mean for the startup ecosystem?

@maijapalmer and @thinkstuff explain. #cvc

Detached from the core. A clash of cultures. Not invented here. Gambling with hard-earned capital. Hype and fads. Non-core. A distraction. Corporate #innovation and #venture programmes attract their fair share of scepticism and critique…
