Pitchbook's latest start up city ranking is interesting reading. London still hugely dominates in terms of fundraising and exits. Unlikely that this will change soon.

In a recent interview with News Central TV, Jessica Hope shared insights on strengthening startup-investor collaboration. 📢 One key challenge Jess highlighted is that while investors set clear reporting expectations, startups often lack the necessary guidance to meet them. This gap is further widened by the absence of standardised reporting templates, which can strain these crucial relationships. But there is a silver lining - 60% of startups have experienced positive interventions from their investors thanks to consistent reporting efforts. Now is the time for founders to leverage these insights, work together, and tap into their networks for sustainable growth and scaling.
