Evening update - 27 Feb 23

#TodayI

Shared my views on the premium for high-growth startups.
Had pilates with Maria Jose Freeman (Fernandez) of Pilates Core Club.
Chatted with Matthew Codd about our plans. Announcement coming soon.
Had a call with Raj Kulasingam of Dentons and SM River Ventures and shared investment notes.
Attended lunch break meditation at Guille-Allès Library.
Spoke with Jonny Plein of Kuai Commerce about his AMA on the trials and tribulations of raising a £2m seed round. This investment was my first commitment as unbundled vc. Details in the comments and it's raising money for a great cause.
Was pitched by Kunmi Oludoyi of Sorair Technologies.
Declined an investment, post commitment, because the terms for sub-£100k investors were different to larger tickets. This was disappointing as I've not seen this in a term sheet before.
Did a load of admin.
Spoke with Jan Deruyck of Guud whose round is closing very shortly. I am happy to be investing. Ask me for an intro or reach out to him directly.
