Building a mobile casual games business requires a range of skills. Spotting genres with untapped potential; working out how to turn this into a fun game which retains players for months and years; building a polished game and metagame; high quality characters and art; world-class marketing etc etc. It also requires a huge amount of hard work. Alper Oner Oğuzhan Merdivenli Ali Baran Terzioglu Burak Kar and their colleagues at Agave Games and Vento Games have the rare combination of skills and work ethic to build something really exciting. https://lnkd.in/eb8crAqT

Fantastic read from WIRED UK with Alex Kendall Wayve 🚘
""With a self-storage warehouse on one side, and a fast-food shop on the other, Wayve's north London facility doesn't look like the headquarters of a company which won a billion-dollar investment from SoftBank, Microsoft, and NVIDIA—the largest-ever capital raise by a European artificial intelligence firm. The plain brick building lies a 10-minute walk north of Kings Cross train station in a rapidly regenerating area. It is central enough for Wayve's 32-year-old founder Alex Kendall to be driven to Downing Street in 25 minutes by one of his autonomous cars, but distant enough for the Primrose Sandwich Bar across the road still to be able to serve a cheap mug of tea."" 👀 It was a pleasure to host Ben Oliver from WIRED for a fun inside look at what we do at Wayve! Each of our offices reflect our culture: humble, focused, empowered epicenter of world-leading robotics energy. 👉 Wayve’s AI Self-Driving System Is Here to Drive Like a Human and Take On Waymo and Tesla: https://lnkd.in/eWA5hENf

Over the past five days, we’ve welcomed the first 500 individuals to explore Proxy in its Alpha stage. After months of building, refining, and testing, we’re thrilled to see power users already emerging. This milestone is just the beginning, and we’re incredibly grateful for the trust and invaluable feedback from our early adopters who are pushing the boundaries of what our browser-based agents can achieve. A special thank you to Balderton Capital, Salesforce Ventures, and Shopify Ventures for your ongoing support as we pursue this critical mission to redefine what’s possible with autonomous agents. Here’s to the next 500 (coming very soon!)—and beyond. 🛠️✨ It’s time to Meet Proxy. Want to join in on the fun? Check the comments! 😁

Join us for a fantastic event celebrating neurodiversity in business with James Roycroft-Davis and Hugo Sunnucks 👇
Dyslexia is often misunderstood. But let's get something straight. It's not a weakness. Dyslexia affects about 10% of people. Yet, 30-40% of founders have it. This shows the power of neurodiversity in business. Hugo Sunnucks and I have been discussing building a small community for founders to address the stigma around being dyslexic. Now we're excited to bring it to life with our first epic event at Balderton Capital’s offices in King’s Cross, in February next year. We're bringing together Founders, Angels, and VCs to dig deep into dyslexia and how successful people have managed it effectively. We have a VERY exciting lineup of speakers coming soon. If you're dyslexic, sign up to this event: https://lu.ma/5d8n7x5d Lets start talking about dyslexia in the founder community.

Balderton Capital is proud to have sponsored The Sick Children's Trust's 'Together at Christmas' carol service for the third consecutive year. Held on December 4, 2024, at St Marylebone Parish Church, 400 supporters came together for the event that featured fantastic performances by the London Show Choir, the Tootsie Rollers, and the Toffee Bear Choir. Readings were delivered by star studded guests and long time supporters of the SCT including Rochelle Humes, Jenni Falconer, Emilia Fox, Alice Beer, and Tim Downie. The evening raised an amazing £18,383 to support families with seriously ill children, (which equates to 459 nights of comfort and care) providing them with a 'Home from Home' during challenging times. Thanks to Agata Krok and Robert Collopy for joining us! 🎄 🎄 #charitablegiving #thesickchildrenstrust #homefromhome
