When you know all the hundreds of billions of dollars in capex is money well spent. 😽

"Patents aren’t the golden ticket. When you start with the market, the mission and the team, the rest, including the right IP, will follow.". 👏 

TTOs regularly overvalue IP. The relevancy of a patent is pretty short, and it's far from being the end all, be all for success in deeptech. Good on Ale Maiano for calling this out. If you're a scientist interested in entrepreneurship, check out Wilbe asap. There's no better place for you. 👩‍🔬 

"The cult of intellectual property (IP) has become a distraction. Too often, founders and investors mistake a patent filing for proof of progress...foundational IP has its place, but it should serve the venture, not dictate it. A startup built around a patent risks becoming a company searching for a problem, rather than a venture solving one. Worse, it often signals that the founding team is motivated more by scientific pride than entrepreneurial instinct." 💯 Amen brother. Shout it loud and shout it proud.

The cyberattack on JLR has had a significant negative impact on the UK economy. The general public in most countries are still naive to the fact that cyberattacks can be more economically destructive than actual physical attacks...and the threat will only get worse with more AI and compute.

With over 35 years of experience in the super yacht industry, I am a passionate business development specialist and entrepreneur who helps clients achieve their goals with innovative and bespoke technology solutions. I am the managing partner at VFA Land & Sea, a company that offers consultancy and technical management for luxury motor yachts and estates in the areas of audio visual, IT, communications, security, and HVAC systems.

I started my career as an electrical and electronics engineer at Honeywell, and then became the first modern day ETO for super yachts in 1994. After working as the technology manager for a fleet of yachts that included Ecstasea, Pelorus, Luna, and Eclipse, I founded Bond Technology Management in 2006, which now has a staff of 50 and offices in six locations. In 2019, I also launched a new venture to improve the air quality and health of yacht owners and crew. I love working in this industry and having a team that makes a difference.

We had a wonderful evening with crew and owners reps at our Barcelona office in Port Vell. 
Affectionately known as the “ Launchpad” we promote and launch new services from here. This week it was learning about Climawise the energy monitoring system specifically for yacht HVAC systems. 
Everyone was astounded by the potential savings $$$ that can be made simply by know more about the HVAV system.

It doesn’t need to be a black box, let us help you demonstrate how.

Best video I've seen on the internet this week is this speech given by Tim Minchin to The University of Western Australia graduates. 

He shares 9 life lessons that are funny, cynical and wise. 

If you've ever questioned your dreams, worried that you're not happy enough or been disappointed with your lot in life, give this 6 mins of your time. 

Perfect if you need a friday afternoon pick-me-up. ☕️

Looking forward to seeing the latest developements from yachtaware before they are copied 😇😜
