Big News from me - after 13 years as CEO of Capital Enterprise I will be stepping down on the 1st April in order to give my full attention to setting up a new pre-seed deep tech fund called Twin Path. It has been a blast, and big thanks to all the 1000's startups and 100's of supporters I have engaged with over the past 13 years (really wish I had helped more). For those interested in what is next for me (especially potential investors), please do come to The Twin Path Ventures soft launch on the evening 15th February. https://lnkd.in/ePTPmJ-y
Gosh sold out already, I think thats a good sign ;)
Good luck John. A role you are perfectly suited to, this will be a huge success and another immensely value-adding initiative for the UK early stage landscape - much like your last endeavour! Wishing you every success my friend!
I remember circa 2016 sitting down with you at Capital Enterprise and a) you really made us think about moats, go-to-market etc and b) were so kind and made loads of investor intros (and two of those became out investors) and c) your workshops on investor deck context etc. Thank YOU John, every end is a new beginning 🙌👏👏👏
Awesome news! Good luck John Spindler and looking forward to investing together again. This time as co-investors on different but, you could even say... Twin Paths 👬 [Drum roll please 🥁]

Thank you for all that you have done for London’s entrepreneurial community - and excited to see what comes next.
Wow John, how exciting! Loved working with you and thought of you the other day. Interested in what you might be seeing around sustainability, which is a big topic for us in Cisco. Hope you are suitably proud of the impact you have had on the London Start-Up scene, which is pretty immeasurable. Stay in touch and all the best with the new venture. All best wishes, Katherine
You have trained a good team John Spindler so its a great time to move on to your next challenge. We will of course continue to work together (and meet for cocktails) but I wanted to thank you on behalf of all IoT Tribe for your support over the years. In particular, your introduction all those years ago to the marvellous Tracey Johnson! See you soon!
An exciting next chapter for “godfather of the london tech scene” - wishing you and supporting you 100%
