šš¾ Hi friends!
Iāve run out of things to say about the weather. But so as to not disappoint, weāre going through a āheat' waveā in the UK.

OK. Iām back.
As I mentioned in Tuesdayās Off Balance Iām switching up the content and scheduling again. From now on youāll be getting The Lowdown straight to your inbox - a quick recap of some of the news within the ecosystem thatās caught my attention over the last couple of weeks.
Today I look at:
š Sequoia's fall from grace
š¤ Air Streets AI fund
š° Pretiosumās second fund
š¦ Un-crowning the Unicorn
