The world is burning. Wildfires raging in Greece and Algeria have become commonplace in the last decade. The IPCC’s Special Report on global warming released in August is a sobering forecast for the coming decades if climate change is left unchecked. Action is needed now.

The internet was created by a visionary, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and that in itself is a great accolade to have on one’s LinkedIn. Berners-Lee is arguably the greatest connector of knowledge and information in history.

“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.

We are all familiar with the struggles startups – and indeed, the entire business world – has faced since 2020. But have you taken the time to consider what the life of a startup might look like in five years’ time?

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.

As the world transitions to green energy and renewables, businesses must now look at their hiring strategies to attract the green talent needed to drive the agenda on the road to net-zero. Workforce priorities are shifting and to remain an option for green talent, promises to commit simply can’t be empty.

To figure out what to do about ESG, start with the regulations that you have to report on – and then work out what’s material to your business or your portfolio. Not the other way round.

The last year has shown us that synthesised videos are becoming a new media reality. The alternative Christmas speech by Queen Elizabeth and deepfake Tom Cruise TikTok videos generated by artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are vivid examples that such technology has the potential for viral proliferation.

One of the things that we most commonly associate with the world of startups is youth. When we think of startup founders, the classic image that comes to mind is of a twenty-something-year-old in Silicon Valley, dropping out of university to start the next big tech firm. Think Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs, for example, who were 19 and 21 respectively when they started Facebook and Apple.
