@ncsh Spinoza is also one of my main philosophical guide 😌

[Nico Wittenborn @ncsh]

stuck on this by Spinoza:

‘The more the mind knows, the better it understands its forces and the order of nature; the more it understands […] the better it will be able to direct itself; and […] the more easily it will be able to liberate itself from useless things’

[Robin Dechant @robindchnt]

In the past 1.5 years, I’ve talked to 100’s of people about the European workforce crisis.

In this post, I want to give a quick introduction to the problem, discuss ways how to mitigate it and share what I’ve learned along the way. (1/n) 🧵

(1/5) The VC industry has the highest level of dry powder after a record breaking fundraising season and a summer slowdown in deal pace. There is ~$290 B in dry powder available for startups in VC funds - when will the funding floodgates open?

UK green supply chain startup Circulor raises $25mln for US expansion https://t.co/u6ZwnwaMyO

[Alex Terrien @aterrien]

Very exciting news coming from @Circulor1 in our portfolio! This is a space and a company I'm particularly bullish on. The team is laser focused, the need for supply chain transparency is acute and they are well ahead of competition. Keep pushing!

[Future Positive Capital @wearefpc]

Our portfolio company @Circulor1 just announced they raised another 25m$ to fuel their growth.

They bring transparency and traceability to complex supply chains, and help large companies like BHP or Volvo reduce emissions and uphold ESG standards.

Having survived two previous market resets (2001, 2009), people frequently ask me how this 2022 market reset is different and how it is the same. The obvious similarity is that valuation multiples have collapsed. We went from a "glass very full" mindset to one with many concerns.
