Thoughts on the Silicon Milk Roundabout

I was with Mind Candy yesterday at the SiliconMilkRoundabout looking for some new talent :-)

It was a great day and it was really exciting to see so many London startups in one space. I haven’t seen anything like it in London before. What really pleased me was that all the companies were product companies. I remember the first dot com boom and London was a buzz on agencies that were growing like crazy to build websites for everyone and anyone.

Product companies are far more interesting in my eyes, they get to create and learn about market fit. They need to do Agile, Customer Discovery and focus on user experience to be successful. Which is all the stuff I love.

I am really looking forward to the next one.
