While much of what #venturecapital #investments do is independent from the economy they aren't completely divorced. On the latest #EIS Navigator podcast, Ewan MacKinnon of @Maven_CP discusses this, bringing lots of insights in a very enjoyable conversation. Hope you enjoy it!

Small wonder @ScottishPower is screwed up: I had to explain to their call agent what a service standard was. But at least them calling me allowed me to submit a complaint about their harassment.
