Chatted yesterday to someone who uses ChatGPT to write stories for their three year in the style of Julia Donaldson. A different one every day. The publishing industry is still largely oblivious to the earthquake underway.

Such a fun & insightful #SAVCAConf2022 Fireside Chat with @MichaelJordaan on Angel Investment, #VentureCapital & Private Equity. VC provides outsized IRR and solves meaningful problems.

What a week! Pay-away on two sizeable $ Series-A VC investments. Reminder of how far we’ve come, as not so long ago our total Investable Capital would be depleted if we did this. Well done team, LP’s, co-investors, advisors & most NB: the Entrepreneurs. #ChampagneChain🍾growing! – at Cape Town, South Africa
