Hello there,
Twitter's Q1 earnings were released early a few weeks ago which caused the firm's stock price to quickly fall. The early leaking of the results wasn't due to a hack of any kind but some good technology by startup firm Selerity. We used our news and Twitter performance metrics data to see how much Selerity's Twitter leak boosted its own Twitter follower count.
Fin Tech goes boom
Our Disrupting Financial Services webinar has proven to be pretty popular so we've opened up more spots for non-clients. We've got a few hundred clients enrolled and are opening up 30 more spots for non-clients so if you haven't registered, do that here asap.
UK tech funding hits multi-year high
Funding to UK tech companies hit almost $800 million in Q1 2015 representing a 111% increase vs just one year ago. Clearly, things across the pond are heating up.
On-demand mobile startup funding hits $9.4B
Today, we released a report on The On-Demand Economy in partnership with the On-Demand Conference. Besides Uber, we've now got on-demand companies focused on groceries, prepared meals, laundry, liquor, dog walking, flowers, shipping and even weed. You will never need to get out of bed again.
Go grab the report here.
We're launching a new business
First of all, from the tweet below, it's clear that landlords haven't gotten the memo that Seed is the new Series A.
Also, in related news, we're starting a sister company that is a shell VC firm that just sells you Series A term sheets so you can qualify for office space. It'll be $10k per term sheet. Do not offer us equity in your startup for one of these termsheets. Straight cash homey.
Thanks,
Anand
