Why values-driven company culture holds the key to career success
These days, we’re well versed in the concept of company culture. And while pool or ping-pong tables, fridges stocked full of snacks or hammocks in meeting rooms might have held sway pre-pandemic when the workplace was confined to an office building, in recent years company values, standards and beliefs are being brought into sharper focus as the barometer of what it’s really like to work at an organisation.

Intersectionality as a criteria for investment fosters innovation
Working for close to a decade at the intersection of my three favourite words; innovation, investment, and intersectionality, has shown me how beautifully complex they are. Don’t get me wrong, there’s lots of hot air - but it’s pretty clear that if you care about investing with a long-term view, and want to make an impact & consider every letter and sub-category of the overused E to the S to the G, then you need intersectionality. Look at this through a Queer lens too, and you’re winning.

Against all odds: a resilient journey through the valley of startup funding
Every startup founder envisions a future where their dream soars to the skies, funded and supported by investors who believe in their mission. One morning, I found myself in a hotel room, nestled in the heart of London, overlooking the scenic Tower Bridge. My dream was about to take a significant detour. The 6:45 AM call that informed us of our anticipated funding (which was due that day) wouldn’t be coming through. It was a gut-punch, leaving me with a heavy heart like an elephant perched upon my chest.
