The Lowdown #3

👋🏾 Hi friends!

I know I promised I’d steer clear of the weather, but… I’m British aren’t I?

After a beautiful Indian summer with temperatures hitting 30 centigrade for half of the month, we’re back to a proper British autumn - wind, rain and chilly winds.

Ah well, nothing lasts forever. Sigh.

Let’s get into this week’s happenings.

Today I look at:

🧮 Airtable cuts team + what’s the valuation?
📹 A certain Brand gets burned
🌏 Following the money - where are all the millionaires going?
📈 Are tech IPOs back on track?

And remember to check out this week’s Nothing Ventured pod where we take a look back at some of our guests talking about the acceleration of tech and venture in the pan African ecosystem. 💪🏾

Also, if you have any feedback or if there’s something you’re desperate to see me include, just reply to this mail or ping me online - I’m very open to conversations.

Give me a follow on LinkedIn, Twitter (do I really have to start calling it ‘X’ soon?), Instagram.

(If you are trying to connect with me on LinkedIn, maybe read this post I wrote and make sure to start your request with “Lowdown” and, more importantly, tell me why you’d like to connect 💪🏾)

Don’t forget to like, rate and subscribe to Nothing Ventured on Apple, Spotify or YouTube, it really helps more people see what we’re doing!

Now let’s get into it.
