investors take way too much credit for successes and not nearly enough responsibility for failures, and this drives founders crazy to a degree that’s hard to explain

Jacinda is a better leader *because* she resigned. Refreshing to see a leader pro-actively let power go for the better of the mission.

Wow. This quote from Jacinda Ardern’s resignation: β€˜Hope I leave New Zealanders with a belief that you can be kind but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused...that you can be your own kind of leader, one who knows when it’s time to go’..

The team @openbionics have come such a long way since I last had chance to invest - in 2013 it was Β£15 in exchange for a pair of "Open Hand Project" touchscreen gloves on @Indiegogo. 🧀 Delighted to be investor #407 in this round. Congratulations @SighSam & @JoelGibbard πŸš€πŸ™Œ
