‘Start-Up Century’ explains why there has been a global shift towards entrepreneurship over the last few decades, and what the implications are of more people wanting to work in start-ups or as self-employed entrepreneurs. As a Partner at London-based Balderton Capital, I have worked with British breakout technology companies like Depop, Revolut and GoCardless, which are covered in the book, alongside many other stories from freelancers, one person companies and start-up brands.
While the book highlights the many opportunities new technologies, from AI to biotech, create for entrepreneurs it also addresses challenges such as the digital divide and includes a manifesto of ideas that would lead to more support for entrepreneurs in the UK and across the globe.”
