It’s Friday and a great time for reflections, learning lessons and forward planning.
Here are some things that we hope will spark your mood and give you food for thought …….
Something to watch
September #DemoNight went really well and we decided to experiment a little and take the recording to split out each demo into its own vid. Each of these founders had very different approaches to getting their message across and our panellists had some awesome insights, contributions and reflections too. Super useful benchmarks.
How would you do things differently? What can you take from each of these to add to your own pitch, demo or presentation?
Take a look and leave some feedback, or perhaps a Like and Subscribe.
#SaveTheDate
#Websummit2022 is hopefully on your horizon already. If not take a look ASAP and get yourself a ticket. This is not to be missed.
During that week we will be hosting a demo night in person, yes In Real Life! REGISTER HERE and lets get the community together for a big celebration.
Something(s) to ponder
If you are in the UK, or raising money in the UK, then the sunset of the Enterprise Investment Scheme tax legislation is definitely something to keep an eye on.

If you are a SaaS Founder thinking about the crazy ebbs and flows of the market and trying to work out what it takes to raise capital this year then this is a very interesting article for you → https://medium.com/point-nine-news/what-does-it-take-to-raise-capital-in-saas-in-2022-7ebe55c86e3e
