Bridging the talent gap in the UK’s tech sector
Earlier this year, the UK tech industry was valued at £1T, a significant milestone that only the US and China have previously reached. In fact, following record levels of venture capital investment, the UK tech industry is now home to thirteen decacorns – businesses valued at $10B or more – putting the value of the UK market at more than double that of Germany and nearly five times greater than France and Sweden.

Community-based satellite kitchens could provide the answer to food waste
About a third of the food produced on earth - food we pay for - is wasted. Food waste, as a result, has been dubbed by some as ‘the world’s dumbest problem’. And in my opinion, the title is justified, although dumb problems can be difficult to solve.

What's the difference between a head of marketing and a head of growth?
You’ve probably heard of a Head of Growth, the new kid on the block that is being compared to the Head of Marketing. Chances are you might also wonder what the actual difference is between them because it almost seems that they do the same things.

Work from home, four-day weeks and flexible hours: what about the silent, deskless majority?
Benefits often make job ads seem more glamorous, yet until recently, they usually only included the standard 'luxuries' like free breakfasts, birthday days off and cycle-to-work schemes.

Size matters: media megaround myopia paints distorted picture of seed-stage fundraising
Startup valuations have been brought into stark focus in recent months, and the picture is bleak. The number of companies achieving unicorn status is slowing - in 2021 537 hit that milestone globally, but so far this year just 230 have done so as macroeconomic headwinds hit venture capital. While this might spark some concerns for the health of the global startup ecosystem, the silver lining is that it might just stop the obsession of many media outlets with covering only large funding rounds (because, presumably, a bigger number means a better business).

Why online retailers are missing hidden sales opportunities
It’s been sixteen years since ‘Google’ became a recognised verb in the Oxford English Dictionary, and it is still our first port of call when looking for something. We’ve all been there. Who hasn’t Googled for a new pair of Veja shoes or a ME+EM maxi dress? Google Shopping allows shoppers to search for any product online to easily compare items and prices across sellers – but a simple listing is only the starting line for retailers to gain a competitive advantage.

How customer complaints can benefit your marketing strategy
No one likes criticism. We all wish that every word spoken to and about us or the organisation we represent could be effusive praise. After all, compliments feel good, but complaints, well, not so much…

Why a standardised market will level the investment playing field
Private investment markets fail to provide people with equal access to opportunities due to their stringent regulation and archaic procedures. Standardising procedures such as the pitch deck will create a more equal, transparent and liquid capital market.
