Getir Gets Down (Round), UK CBDC TBD, Excel + Python = 🤯 plus where is tech's talent pool going

👋🏾 Hi friends!
Bit of a whirlwind of a week for me this week with the first recording of the new season of Nothing Ventured in the bag.
Judging by some of the exploratory calls I’ve been having over the last few weeks, the rest of the season looks like it’s shaping up to be pretty spectacular!
In some personal news, I am writing today’s issue from my first ever Apple device, the Macbook Air - as someone who has been a Windows / PC user for the last 30 years, this has been a tough, but rational decision for me - check out my thoughts here.
Down to business!
Today I look at:
🏍️ Getir’s down round
🪙 When are we going to see some CBDC?
🐍 What happens when Excel gets bitten by Python?
📉 What’s going on with tech’s talent pool?
And remember to check out this week’s Nothing Ventured pod where we take a look back at some of our guests most passionate about levelling the playing field in venture 💪🏾
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.
