Thrilled to see my blog on HN, thanks to the submitter. The openfund is one of the many initiatives that is changing the seed financing ecosystem in Europe. It's a very good time to be an unexperienced entrepreneur.
Useful blog, thanks. I'm always looking for heads up on startuppy stuff happening around London.

What's surprised me is how few people you actually need to make a city feel like a proper community, once you get those people talking to each other. We organize a london startup poker night and have been benefiting from a couple nearby shared offices -- that little bit of contact has made a world of difference. You need access to other founders, but not as many as one would suppose based on idolizing SF.

The first round was promising unfortunately only one qualified for the second one! Let 's see what will be there for the third
Congrats George! keep up the good work...
;-)
great guys. eager to help you start up
