    WeWork's $21.1 billion worth question

    I can just picture it now. A sea of 20 something males, business cards with CEO on them in hand pitching "The Uber of X" with a hockey stick revenue chart & a pitch deck full of whatever buzzwords are hip these days.

    WeWork's $21.1 billion worth question

    I'm always wary of over the top personalities like Neumann . Very cult like. Enron/Theranos had over the top personalities and look how that ended, Tesla/WeWork have yet to play out fully so my judgement is reserved until then, but it is indisputable that their personalities at various times...

    How to borrow up to £100,000 for your new startup***

    Yeah, Sadly a lot of the loan recipients are ending up with profitable jobs (or failing) rather than anything that can be scaled. I keep getting letters to my Ltd offering business credit cards. No idea whether any of them would approve me but there's finance out there for the rockiest of...

    INVESTING 
    Pharma penny stocks are the new mining penny stocks. You might get lucky, Most don't. From the timing of your post I'm guessing you've read the article on seeking alpha. They've just laid off 70 people.

    How to borrow up to £100,000 for your new startup***

    Oh man Business Link, that's a name I haven't heard in a while. I know someone who went to them for a grant in '08 but was in the "wrong" sector to get one. There's a £100k limit per business sadly One thing I will say is that they want to see roughly where this money is spent, They like...

    How to borrow up to £100,000 for your new startup***

    Yes but it depends what the business is, what the money is needed for and where it is (A lot of the grant schemes are regional and often very specific). For instance where I live you can get £10k if you bring an empty retail property back into use. Getting a grant to start a business is not...

    How much does a University's ranking matters?

    On ratings and league tables. Where I'm from (UK) they are rife. Probably because parents are so used to looking at them to select a high school (The middle classes move house near the high rated schools so their kids get a place). The whole "This uni is #5, that one is number #7" needs to be...

    What is the Trend right now?

    UK here. We have the Tai Lopez crowd here too. (i.e people who've done the SMM course and target dentists/chiro's/gyms etc trying to sell FB ads), We have our own "guru's" over here, Mostly in property investing teaching the same overused/deceptively simple strategies to people who can't...

    How many action fakes can the fastlane come up with??

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    "I've got to register for self-employment tax returns and wait for the tax office to confirm before I can start" Heard this one so much. Context: in the UK you can register as self-employed after you start actually selling stuff. no need to wait for them to "approve" it first. "I'm going to...
