We have launched International Office Hours 3.0 🎉 Lyubov Guk and I worked on this project for a very long time, it feels unreal that now we are launching its third instalment! Let me start with the WHY? 🤔 The UK boasts one of the best tech ecosystems, but it is not known for being the most open community. The "don't-make-eye-contact-in-an-elevator" philosophy extends to the investment space. Knowing the 'right' people, attending the 'right' private schools, and having the 'right' introductions can count for a lot. For international founders lacking an existing network, this poses particular challenges. While I believe that the right founder with a great product will eventually break through these barriers, it does take time and effort. HOW can International Office Hours help with this? 🤝 Office Hours is our contribution to addressing these challenges. We have created a safe environment for founders to connect with investors, receive honest feedback, gain a better understanding of the UK markets, and start building new connections. Whats NEXT? ⏯️ 🚀 Office Hours work on the first come first served basis, if you would like to take part register now https://lnkd.in/e_yaAABc 🚀 Join us for the online launch event on the 3rd of June https://lu.ma/ioh3.0 🚀 If you are a VC and would like to join International Office Hours please message me For friends within my network, I would very much appreciate share and repost! -------- Huge thanks to our partners and friends who support this mission and help make this project a reality: Akua Owusu-Ansah Justina Povilonyte Michele Davidson-Jones, Natasha Takhar, Robyn Klingler-Vidra, Juanita Gonzalez Uribe, WILSON SONSINI GOODRICH & ROSATI LLP, Fragomen Mishcon de Reya LLP Kreston Reeves Global Tech Connect, Connectd and shipshape.vc

Offices need to be repackaged Since the pandemic they've gotten a bad reputation especially in America. They're seen as ... - Onerous commitments for businesses - A place that oppresses peoples' freedom - Useless in the face of technology - Not worth the commute Perhaps people have forgotten the benefits and value they generate for businesses. Offices are a place ... - That gives your culture & brand a tangible home. - Where you're never far from someone to learn from. - Where great ideas happen accidentally. - Where you & your colleagues can grab dinner & drinks after work. - Where you can 'grab 5 minutes' with a mentor, without booking in a teams call. - Where a new recruit can bond with their team. - Where clients can visit and engage meaningfully with you. I'm sure many will argue you can do all of this online... But 'in real life' still matters, and with the right packaging offices should be seen as a driver of productivity and growth. Happy Wednesday Z ✌

As you progress in a career, responsibilities should fall into a range rather than a singular framework. One of the positive side effects from the past few years, amid a new way of work, is that many of us were forced to rethink how we spend our working hours - and what work itself looks like or should be. A key benefit of a hybrid model is that you can design alternating days in different places to call upon distinct aspects of your interests, your pursuits, and your ambition. Here's a look at how my Thursday and Friday shaped up last week: THURSDAY I attended a breakfast hosted by a law firm in East Midtown. It was targeted for B2Bs, however I knew I'd find some good conversations there regardless. Whether for their consumer portfolio companies or within their professional networks, some people had ideas for who I should speak to, via their suggestions. It's good at times to be the only one of your kind in the room. Then, I headed downtown ahead for a lunch to welcome a new team member. I remained at the office for only a bit before going to the final portion of a conference about data. They hosted some sessions about how to apply data to marketing. I stuck around to meet a few folks. Finally, I walked nearby to a happy hour that brought together fintech founders. Four in-person events outside the office on a day in the City is my limit. FRIDAY I prefer to schedule introduction calls for Fridays when working from home. Coming off long days in Manhattan, I look to ease into the weekend. My first call got cancelled. Then I spoke to a founder who organizes offsites for remote-first companies. He had hosted a NY Tech Week event I didn't make it to, and I received an email in the days that followed asking if I wished to meet virtually instead. I took him up on it. We spoke casually for 30 minutes about what makes a good event going forward. We disagreed respectfully about some of it, based on what we'd seen and heard, which bodes well for us to grab coffee this season. My next call was with a junior PR person hoping to transition from agencies to in-house. I offered some insight about the difference between those two entities, especially in a tough market. After the call, I sent half a dozen opportunities to look into. Then, I had another call with someone whom I'd missed during NY Tech Week. She described the service they provide to business veterans. I countered with what I needed adjacent to it. She's going to bring another team member into the conversation to find out if they can help. Just after, I spoke to someone by phone about the ongoing war overseas. I closed my day with a call with a colleague who will be leaving our company. I gave some advice about how to approach startups. I ushered along 10 job listings I'd seen that she'd match for. I spotted another one this weekend - and sent that, too. I'll begin my Monday in the City at coffee with a visitor, someone who's building DTC businesses to be better this decade. I look forward.

Them: Where are you Anthony? Me: In the office Them: Which office? Me: LinkedIn. LinkedIn is the office like other mortar and brick offices that many employees and employers go to. The internet has changed everything that a normal person/company can open multiple offices like X, IG, FB etc. This life arrived earlier at Tanzlite Digital. So, treat LinkedIn as your office where you have to show up everyday. #mindsetshift

For over seven years, my office has been my home—literally. Before that, I subleased part of the top floor in one of Vancouver’s tallest office towers, sharing space with a pharmaceutical company and Mitsubishi. Despite the impressive address, I was rarely there. Most meetings happened off-site or via Skype. When the lease ended, I faced a decision: should I continue working full-time from my 500 sq. ft condo? While much of the discussion around 'working from home' focuses on employee productivity, founders themselves also worry about how it looks to investors. At that time, I wondered if old-school investors might see my business as a 'lifestyle business.' In the local angel community, this term was often incorrectly used to imply 'not scalable' or 'not a strong value proposition.' I’ve never actually heard anyone call my business a 'lifestyle business,' but I certainly considered the possibility back then. These concerns stemmed from a few old-school investors whom I'd heard say things like, 'Your founder salary is too high—you’re a lifestyle business.' But let me be clear: A company isn’t a 'lifestyle business' just because: 1) Founders work from home. 2) Founders prioritize their physical and mental health. 3) Founders foster a culture that reflects these values. Today, there are more and more investors who focus on the vision, the impact, and the growth potential—not whether a company has a permanently-staffed office space. Whether you work from a home office, a high-rise, or on the go, the focus should always be on growth, results, and the impact you make in your industry. And yes, I also spend time in the lab, ensuring that our work is grounded in hands-on innovation and scientific rigor. My team and I are committed to scaling and expanding our reach, no matter where we choose to work. #WorkFromHome #StartUpCulture #ScalingUp #EntrepreneurLife #VisionOverVenue
