3 years after Cryptopia, I am excited to share FORTITUDE with you. In this documentary about #NewSpace I will whirl you around the world and hurl you into orbit.
We're 90% finished but now need your support. Join us (and an actual mission to the Moon!)

Met a German founder this week and asked him if all the stories one reads about the challenges of startups in Germany are exaggerated. "No, they're understated." Proceeded to describe spending a full day having a 90-page investment contract read to him (mandatory under German law; § 13 BeurkG) by a notary that then charged €30,000. That was for his first company. His second company, needless to say, was not incorporated in Germany.
This is how things during the Singularity will look like ...

Running a company:
2020: can you survive a pandemic?
2021: still here? we’re going to give all of your competitors $100m series A rounds.
2022: wow, you made it? okay, all engineers cost $600,000/year now.
2023: nice job! okay, SVB failed and we’re going to take away your bank account.
2024: a survivor I see. but can you pivot from ai to crypto to defense tech back to ai-enabled defense tech in a 12 month period to stay relevant?
2025: unfortunately all of your competitors have raised $2b series B rounds. oh and only 500 engineers are relevant and they cost $100m/yr each.
2026: well, well, well. you’re still in business? let’s deploy the thunderclap of godlike LLMs from the heavens so all of your customers can rebuild your app in 2 hours. can you survive?
Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

reminds me of @nic_carter post yesterday about UKs 100 year decline
Rachel is absolutely right.
The fact that Revolut still can’t get regulated in the UK over a decade after founding is a failure of state capacity.
This is the first UK-founded company likely to surpass a $100bn market cap—and yet the country has systematically missed the upside:
•No British capital on the cap table—UK pension funds and endowments missed out
•High-paying jobs now mostly overseas due to domestic talent shortages (fewer than 50% of staff are UK-based)
•Founder moved to Dubai to avoid punitive capital gains tax
•No chance of LSE listing without serious reform—another blow to UK wealth creation and tax revenue
The UK should have benefited from this success story through jobs, taxation, and institutional prestige. Instead, we exported it.
We can’t solve stagnation or the productivity crisis without backing startups to scale and list here. That means better regulation, better tax policy, and a functional public market.
If the Bank of England can’t evolve to support that mission, it needs new leadership.
Woah! 👏Look what next gen philosophers o3 just imagined 🤯

I just backed my friend Ben's @Kickstarter LifeShip: Pyramid on an Asteroid — community space mission on kickstarter.com/projects/lif…
Wishing @dylan & the incredible team @voyagertech_ a great debut at NYSE today. This IPO marks an important milestone for the space economy. Can't wait to see their space station Starlab being built.
