After the previous exit, building again in a related space and raising first money now. Mostly prospective customers who want to help us accelerate. lMK if you need the deck?! Building the antidote to the fake internet real people and genuine stories over bots and Generative slop!

PSA for anyone who's ever been on Dexamethasone for any reason, it can cause & accelerate Cataracts, and it would appear most medics never mention this one. Stay on top of eye tests.

Never had such a terrible mobile & internet experience with a change as we have with EE & Plusnet today. Strongly recommend never touching either. The kit, hardware, the approach to the job and the customer service, absolutely horrific on every front.

Absolutely. Noticeably smoother, felt like it made their job that bit easier and that shows.

TIL learned last few months! Whenever you're having blood tests or injections, two things to make it easier: Hydrate a couple hours before, plumps up the vessels. Secondly, no coffee. Caffeine is a vaso constrictor so shrinks those vessels and gives your medic a smaller target!

Improving health and science outcomes is one of the things I’m most excited about inside of Microsoft AI right now. If you’re a Product Designer in the London area interested in shipping high-craft, society-positive work quickly, hit me up.

525 days since this surgery for a brain tumour. Today, smashed out some yoga, free weights, cardio, some planning work on the next book & closing in on the final cheques for the Rodeo Seed Round. Message is: you're capable of more than you believe!

New favourite way to sear the fat on chops or steaks. This is genius simple.
