It was a pleasure co-hosting an intimate founders breakfast in London last week, alongside our friends at Baobab Network. I would usually insert an inspirational quote about the connections made, but I just wanted to share the pictures and note that we plan to do more of these over the next couple of weeks. Thank you Toby Hanington and Ambar van der Wath for making the breakfast happen. Special thanks to my OPUS co-builders for coming through. See you all next month? 👀 Toby Hanington Ambar van der Wath Arnold Fomété Kerry Fennell Israa Siddig Nic Budden Nic Rawhani Lavanya Anand Folake Osho Modupe Diyaolu Ized Uanikhehi Tolulope Falola Benjamin Dada Githiora Thuku Tayla (Thompson) Dandridge Lewis Goode Folayemi Agusto Simon Ellis HoaQ
