We’re excited to announce that @join_ef has raised $200m of fresh capital, including $130m into our management company at a unicorn valuation, to be the natural home of the world’s most ambitious people in the Age of Entrepreneurship 🧵
Treat your future-self as you’d treat a loved one. Avoid inconveniencing them with too many tasks. Make their life easier by prepping your lunch/bag/desk for tomorrow. Look after their health. And give them wonderful memories to cherish. https://t.co/JXLCo2PRFv
We haven’t built a nuclear power station in 30 years, and it costs more to ask permission to build a tunnel here than it costs Norway to build one.
But there's good news - the problems are so dumb, that the solution fits on 22 generously spaced pages...

@Barney_H_Y@meetgranola Spot on esp on aggressive state investment in AI infrastructure and research centres. Gov should focus on specific sectors such as finance, law, life sciences etc and embrace AI to drive gov efficiency
@isnit0 @pursuitofprog Lol not really - but there are founders / influential ppl who believe in this who could help sort a bigger venue if you could show real interest + passion for this
We have a (very nice!) venue in London booked
We have had over 800 sign-ups. 150 spaces gone in a day. 100 now open for a shortlist (already 50 applications in 1 hour).
Speakers to be announced in the next couple days
LFG
@paulbz@hkanji@soundboy@HarryStebbings@taavet@paulbz this boils down to focus. Instead of “removing barriers” how about picking a handful of industries to 10-50X and ultimately dominate. To execute we need to make UK a no-brainer for top talent and support them.
We just released the last 100 tickets for our first LFG event - if you missed your chance for the first batch of tickets, now is your chance!

@AravSrinivas@AravSrinivas I think you could go much firther than this - with savings, investments, retirement and so much more specific and personalised. We could help you do this in the UK market with @MultiplyAI in a regulated way
I don't think the UK AI ecosystem would be where it is today if not for @matthewclifford
More importantly we need him to help us be the Aston Martin of the global tech scene... @HarryStebbings 😉
I can promise you one thing:
If @matthewclifford had vast amounts of power in the UK political sphere; the UK wouldn’t be the Jaguar brand of the global tech scene. 🤷♂️
The man is brilliant.
@Barney_H_Y@PushinPixls@RachelReevesMP@UKLabour@meetcleo If you want your AI to provide regulated financial advice we could help you (as a fellow EF company we'd sort you out with a discount as well....) https://t.co/ExQ6hcICpg
