Why I’ve angel invested over £50K in “Intersectional Incredibles”
It’s become a sexy term, and will always play an important role in the startup ecosystem. Angel investing continues to be a rewarding journey - and to be told ‘you’re such an angel’, has a very specific meaning for me. I will unpack my thesis and approach for any cheque I write. This culminates in founders who balance depth of innovation, degree of impact, and their direct experiences from intersectionality. These 3 ‘i’s make them investible “intersectional incredibles”, and is why I’m launching iiF by i³ investing.

Meta did a great job launching Threads last summer: the teasers, the waitlist, the ‘number’ assigned to your profile signifying when you became part of the community... It was all very exciting.

The UK government must do way more for women and POC startups following the HNWI fiasco
The government's recent policy reversal around access to funding for women and persons of colour start-ups is good news. But it remains nothing short of shocking that we got there in the first place.

Planting forests, not trees: reforestation and the challenge of sustainability
For the UN, the 2020-2030 decade is the decade of ecosystem restoration. To achieve this goal, we need to appreciate the extreme complexity and gigantic diversity of the planet's ecosystems. Forests, the main carbon sink alongside the ocean, are the best example: tropical, temperate, coniferous, humid, dry, mangrove, boreal... Affected by massive deforestation, these areas are on the front line of the climate emergency.

Wouldn’t it be nice if AI could solve our conflicts?
Let’s start with some low grade real life conflicts that an average college student might address through a mildly uncomfortable conversation. Take the example of a friend who always seems too busy for you. They never reach out, always seem too occupied to meet you and you feel like you are the only one who cares about your friendship. Think about a flat mate who always leaves their dirty dishes on the kitchen counter, or a friend who posts mean/uncomfortable photos of you online.
