Hi - I went to log the missed collection, but I can’t per the below photo. This isn’t accurate as the bin was put out the night before and I suspect all the neighbours did the same as their brown bins and xmas trees are also outside their houses - please can you arrange?

Really enjoyed chatting with James, founder & CEO of @ZephrGlobal about his journey as an entrepreneur, how he went from having no access to VC networks to closing his first round & how @SVB_UK helped along the way youtu.be/1RU0DNImQkc

West coast of Ireland. Underrated.
Heading back up north today. Always feel a bit giddy getting the train back to Manchester. I’ve lived in London for 15 years, but up ‘ere will always be home. I listen to this periodically from the amazing @LongfellaPoet-always puts a lump in my throat youtu.be/Wgje-bDdaNo

Having gone through this twice in the last two years, really wish I’d had access / known about @myTamarinChats - can’t put a price on sleep! Huge market opportunity! #TSDemoDay

Great to be in Turin with our friends @techstars for their summit @OgrTorino (amazing venue!). Great content on stage including @eamonncarey and @lorematernini talking about how and why tech clusters form #TechstarsSummit – at Turin, Piedmont
