As the classic New Yorker cartoon says, ‘on the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog’. This image from as far back as 1993 outlines a key feature of (and some would say a major problem with) the internet: there is often no way to tell whether any digital identity is authentic.

“Don’t take it personally,” and “It’s not personal, it’s just business,” are two of the most common phrases heard around the proverbial water cooler. But I think business should be personal. Because the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful startup is a founder’s ability to be passionate about, and committed to, their business’ success. Personal experience fuels this passion and commitment in a way that stats from market research just can’t.

Daily, the British public is being reminded that the NHS is in crisis. The most recent figures at the time of writing put the number of people on a waiting list for hospital treatment at 5.6 million. Many are expecting to wait 12 to 18 months to be seen, and whilst COVID-19 has had an impact, it has exacerbated an issue that already existed.

The issue of sustainability is in the spotlight like never before. 64% of respondents to a global survey carried out by the UN described climate change as an emergency; one that required decision-makers to step up on their ambitions. And with the UK due to host the COP26 summit in November, two thirds of the British public want the country to become a world leader on climate change.

We are currently experiencing a small business boom in the UK. The number of new small businesses registered in the third quarter of 2020 rose 30% compared with 2019 – the largest increase since 2012. On top of that, driven by the pandemic, e-commerce revenues across Europe jumped by 30% to a record $465B in 2021, a number which is expected to reach almost $570B by the end of 2025.
