Stat of the day: Facebook and Messenger Stories now see 300 million daily active users, whilst Instagram Stories sees 400 million daily active users (just 100m more!). Looks like it's time to start heavily investing in Facebook Stories...

Some of the most important, informative and thorough work done on European Seed funding. A must read for startups and early stage investors. A positive addition to the corpus of knowledge in the filed. Great work guys!
At last, European founders have actionable benchmarks on Seed funding - how much to raise, for how long, and from whom? Great to partner with @dealroomco and @atomico to develop a more data-driven discourse on the journey to Series A in Europe. medium.com/localglobe-notes/…
