The European growth funding landscape is grossly underfunded.

The German Government subsidizes its retirement system every year with $100BN.

Yet just $7BN invested in VC and the technologies that will drive the future of our society.

To be in favor of solitude is not to be against community or friendship or love. It’s not that being alone is better, just that without the experience of it we block ourselves from discovering something enormously beneficial, perhaps even vital, to selfhood.

Thinking about the time I went partying with new friends and asked them if they were hungover the next morning, and this one girl actually replied "no, I just have some nausea and a headache and I'm super sleepy and everything hurts but no hangover."

“The size of the middle class is expected to rise from 432M people in 2020-21 to 715M (47%) in 2030-31 to 1.02B, 61% of India's projected population of 1.66B in 2047” https://t.co/8XXTgXLCZB

This will have profound implications for society and business.
