šš¾ Hi friends!
Just when you thought it was safe to go out in Londonā¦
I turn up with a hot mic and a bunch of crazy questions š¬
Last night, with the team from Launchpod Studios in tow, I joined a tonne of people at Dream Factory for the London Venture Capital Network social and went a little off the chain.
Watch this space, as I bring some of the amazing conversations to light š¦

Letās get into this weekās happenings.
