Gone too soon: Kobe’s view on Greatness

 

Promise takes time: Open banking is one year on in the UK, and there isn’t much in the way of horns hats and whistles. Turns out that changing centuries of tradition requires...a bit more than a year.

 

Evolving money game: Well, it looks like the tech financial game is getting more interesting. Big funds looking for smaller rounds? This a short take on how VC financing is evolving and why. 

 

Futurist Sapien: The brilliant Yuval Noah Harari gave  a blistering speech about the future at Davos. Amidst all the doom, warnings and gloom of our future selves, a thought came to mind.  In his book Sapiens, he wrote that everything we have is a product of human imagination. Perhaps imagining something less apocalyptic would be the beginning of a solution.
