Excited to launch the updated Fundraising Field Guide! A must-have for first-time founders navigating the complex fundraising world. 🚀 Charts post-pandemic changes, offers practical guidance, and helps you find the right partner for your journey! - sdca.mp/FFG_2024


Trust is eroding. Capital is rerouting. Some industries thrive on openness. Others thrive on verification, enforcement, and control. Venture adapts accordingly. The real risk is mistaking a moment for a permanent shift. I unpack that tension here 👇 cee.medium.com/how-venture-ad…


At the start of the year, we adjust our approach before things pick up pace. The format changes, but the aim remains the same. Internally, it has a practical name, but I call it the Lasagna Meeting. What we create in December often clarifies in January. cee.medium.com/the-annual-las…


Clicks aren’t traction and “work about work” isn’t progress. Just published an updated guide on how founders should structure weekly investor reports. Worth a read if you send updates. cee.medium.com/from-the-ppp-t… @seedcamp

Sometimes I start a conversation thinking it’s just a life story — then halfway through, I realise I’m getting a masterclass. That’s exactly what happened when I spoke with Andrey Khusid, founder of Miro. If you only listen to one podcast this week, make it this one.

🎙️ In an in-depth conversation with our Managing Partner, @cee, @MiroHQ's co-founder and CEO, Andrey Khusid, shares his incredible founder journey, from his simple idea of bringing whiteboards into browsers to Miro, now a global organization valued at nearly $20B.

If you join just one startup webinar this month, this is the one. eventbrite.co.uk/e/seedlegals-s… I'm joined by the legendary @cee and @tom_wils from @seedcamp who'll be talking about their new Fundraising Field Guide, which covers fundraising from first pitch to Series A and beyond.…


Co-founder arguments and disputes that tear a company apart are amongst the most painful ways for a startup to die. In the ongoing series of blog posts I've written on the subject, I wanted to add to the topic due to some recent challenges I've seen: cee.medium.com/co-founder-feu…
