Llevo 5 años usando BiciMad sin problema y ahora me han bloqueado la cuenta sin explicaciones y sin contestar los 3 mensajes que he enviado. Por teléfono muy majos pero no pueden ayudar. Siempre he dejado la bici con candado cerrado y en una estación @bicimad @EMTmadrid #bicimad

Great project from the @BFA_Auto accelerator I often work with in Galicia: better design for industrial 3D printing RT @BFA_Auto: En el vídeo de hoy puedes conocer más información sobre Rdc Works - Design to print youtu.be/fZ8pov98JiE
Can't recommend more talk by @devisridhar for @hayfestival on #covid19 ow.ly/Wy9R50zReXC Watch it quick because it's about to be taken down. She says that UK/US complaints about lack of capacity don't explain why can't do testing & tracing, when DRC managed it with Ebola – at Madrid, Spain

Throwback to working with #startups on their #pitch last year in Turin for @EUSocialInnov @EU_Commission When social distancing was still just something British people did to avoid conversations. – at Madrid, Spain

Interesting point. The problem I find is that lots of investors want to talk to the technical person who had the idea and therefore it's better to get that person competent at pitching. But if there's an experienced sales person on the team obviously that makes a difference!
For the last year I've been working with #startups in China, Vietnam & India who pitch to #angelinvestors in Canada. Pitching over Zoom is hard. I recommend you look at your webcam lens rather than the PPT. If not, it can look like you're reading a script and reduce confidence – at Madrid, Spain

This week I've been doing online workshops for @goheadspring on how to #communicate well in #videoconferences As you can see from my setup, the 2 most important elements for success are: 1) the @catan board game 2) a box of vermouth ready for afterwards – at Madrid, Spain

For the last 6 months I've done #elevatorpitch coaching for #startups in China, Vietnam & India as part of the VDI startup accelerator in Canada. Lots of them find the market slide hard to get right. Recommend this site: dreamit.com/journal/how-to-c…
In Madrid we've been on lockdown for nearly 2.5 weeks now. On the day before the rules came into force my other half and I ran to the nearest board game store and asked what the best 2 player games were. We were unironically told "Pandemic" Turns out it's really fun.
