How companies control the content we read and watch
Today I look at the algorithms that Facebook and co employ and how it shapes the content we see. Should we be worried and what will the future of content look like? I came across an interesting article the other day that discussed how we are likely to seek knowledge and information in the future … Continue reading How companies control the content we read and watch
“We’re tired” – are monthly subscription services at breaking point?
Steady monthly outgoings have been the bane of our existence since we all got a bit richer. Rent, mortgages and bills ensure we must work. The system demands that we work (a philosophical point for another time, perhaps). What has shifted over the past 10 years or so is the increase in the number of … Continue reading “We’re tired” – are monthly subscription services at breaking point?
Bootstrapping your launch in 2019
Launching a product was meant to be easy in the digital age. Oh how times have changed. Alas, simply hacking your way with SEO and social media is probably not enough to get your product ‘out there’. It turns out that if everyone starts doing the same tricks and techniques, then at some point you … Continue reading Bootstrapping your launch in 2019
When mythical beasts go public – what a surge of IPOs in 2019 really means
During the writing of my last article (do check it out if you haven’t already - Rethinking how we eat), I took a moment’s pause to reflect on the burst of market activity so far in 2019. Beyond Meat is one of quite a few unicorns (private companies with a value of >$1bln) that have … Continue reading When mythical beasts go public – what a surge of IPOs in 2019 really means
Rethinking how we eat
Hi everyone, I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus (or rather long one, last post Dec 2017!). My final posts documented the end of a previous journey and I’ve not been so inclined to blog about the current one. In hindsight I probably should have done, but I also didn’t have much urge to … Continue reading Rethinking how we eat
Starting a fund – part 2
The technical part of fund building is shrouded in mystery, but the reality is with a bit of Googling, studying and perseverance it isn't that difficult. There are a few resources I found invaluable which I'll share in the relevant sections below. If you do go and build a fund, you'll need a lawyer anyway … Continue reading Starting a fund – part 2
Starting a fund – part 1
I continue from last week looking at the ideas I explored and the lesson learnt over the course of the last 8 months. There are two broad areas to discuss - attempting a Venture Fund and working with startups. The first series of posts is about the former which will be a nice record for … Continue reading Starting a fund – part 1
‘So….what have you been up to?’
The headliner is a complex question. I mentioned in my last post that there were quite a few changes in direction that took place over the period where I went MIA with this blog. If I had to summarise the time in one sentence I'd say 'I learnt a lot'. Really, a lot. Anyway, lets … Continue reading ‘So….what have you been up to?’
The great blog revival (and something new…)
Well hello readers, it has been a while hasn't it? I haven't quite lived up to my expectations set out in January of maintaining this blog. In fact it's been pretty woeful - my last post was nearly 7 months ago! So what happened? At the most basic level, probably laziness. Delving deeper, there are … Continue reading The great blog revival (and something new…)
