Sorry I’ve not been around much recently – another Demo Day with 17 startups tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday 1st March). You are very welcome if you’d like to come watch and potentially invest in any early stage tech startups? Or even just find like-minded folks, doing interesting work that may require portfolio workers.
I’m always happy to introduce folks if you want to meet.
See which TPC members you can spot too!

Just had the privilege of hearing this amazing lady talk.
Claire Haidar
TED talk
Basically, she posited:
We can’t go back to the office. Ever.
The bonds are broken. New patterns are better, and going backwards never works. We should plan to never return.
It will in fact be harder to return to the old world order, than it was to progress to more flexible home working, particularly now we have adapted.
CEOs always liked getting brainpower into the building, but was it ever successful?
The data says no. People aren’t productive in offices – they create communities to replicate the home they left behind and only tend to actively WORK 3-4hrs per day. When WFH like we are now, people work more adaptively around their personal lives, remaining connected to what needs to be done both in the home, and the office, over 15hrs/day. Productive business work tends to be between 6-8hrs. Now that the shif…

Jenny Collins Thank you for the summary and really interesting to hear the strength of argument. Whilst my business’s ideals are based on the growth of home working I think it’s good to have a bit of cynicism about the death of the office. Disclaimer: I have office clients too but their projects are about adapting existing offices for the ’future of work’ rather than building more city-centre offices. Developing a workplace strategy should definitely be on a case-by-case …

It’s a really interesting perspective, however my anecdotal-only experience conflicts in a number of areas. Firstly, whilst many people started off saying WFH is the way to go and they couldn’t see themselves wanting to go back into the office at all, those views as Ben said have evolved into a hybrid being more preferable. “Going backwards never works”, ‘people aren’t productive in offices” are quite strong and definitive statements! I know many people who rely on the water coole…
