Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

This makes me so angry. Honestly think it should be illegal. Losing millions, and every so often asking the public to fund your large salaries for the next while, with no financials even provided. And others: www.reddit.com/r/crowdcube/...
Pre-money valuation (down round)
The pre-money valuation for this round is £49,784,163.79

The Company raised funds in November 2025, from existing shareholders only, at a valuation of £47,223,384 (excluding the funds raised). The price was determined by the Company, taking into account many factors including feedback from external investors, the company's latest circumstances and performance, and current macroeconomic conditions. The last public crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube in 2023 was a Convertible, which converted into shares at a price of £3.47452019 per share. This corresponds to a valuation at the time of conversion of £293,339,261. As such, this represents a drop in valuation from the previous public rounds which is driven by current market conditions and strategic adjustments aimed at ensuring long-term sustainability and growth.As an investor from rounds in 2020 and 2022 this has been a total disaster. The company
raised again in 2023 at a valuation of 293m and this current raise after 3 more years where the business was meant to be growing and securing their position is now at 49m?
All this with practically zero updates from the management to shareholders over a 6 year period

I had previously thought about investing in previous rounds and I'm pretty glad I stayed away. There doesn't seem to be any point to new shareholders in getting involved when the liklihood is that this company will come back around soonish asking for yet more money. I've not seen a pitch on Crowdcube get so much bad press from existing shareholders (and I've been with Crowdcube for as long as I remember) which must set alarm bells ringing for any thinking of parting with their money in this round.“Our existing shareholders need exit liquidity"

Kicked myself for not investing last round, but I couldn't see how it would be a positive
ROl outside of a good concept.
Now they're back and telling you it's a chance to sell off your shares to the new batch of hopeful investors...
Is everything a borderline ponzi now, or am I just a cynic?

Somewhere in the midst of the javascript frameworks and the nonsense valuations and the shitty AI features and the RTO plans and the godawful union busting, we forgot how much *joy* there is in making websites. Whatever happens with work from here, we need to get it back.

@bobbyllew.bsky.social @fullychargeddan.bsky.social this morning I was sad to see I got an email saying @rippleenergy.bsky.social had unfortunately had to call in the administrators. Maybe you can lean on good potential buyers- maybe @octopus.energy !?

Saw the sad news that @rippleenergy.bsky.social has had to cease trading and bring in administrators. As @octopus.energy are starting their own community energy stuff, feels like a good fit for a buyer!?

✍️There's something SERIOUSLY exciting happening in the world of batteries: an innovation that could pave the way for incredibly energy-dense, fast-charging cells in our cars and smartphones. But there's a catch; quite a big one. A deep dive into silicon batteries🔋 open.substack.com/pub/edconway...

Silicon carbon batteries are a real game-changer. But they also have a big problem. To see why, you need to dive deep inside a battery. So let's do that.
