Nightmare on Parliament Street — The Entrepreneurs Network

1 month ago | tenentrepreneurs.org | Philip Salter

First up, if you’re not one of the hundreds of founders who’ve already completed our Entrepreneurs Survey, now is the time to do so. It will take less than ten minutes, and the anonymised results will help us tell politicians and civil servants – as well as the rest of the country through the media – what entrepreneurs are currently thinking about the state of the economy. This is the most efficient way to have an impact (you’ll also be invited to the launch event).

Welcome to Perennial Gale – the new home for our Friday newsletter. Its name isn’t a reference to this weekend’s inclement weather forecast, but a quote from Joseph Schumpeter’s description of capitalism as “the perennial gale of creative destruction.” His observation in 1942 was that capitalism is neither stable nor static, but constantly shaped by innovation, entrepreneurship and change.
Sense on Security — The Entrepreneurs Network

Feb 14, 2025 | tenentrepreneurs.org | Philip Salter

As is increasingly the case, our cousins across the pond managed to grab the headlines this week. Specifically Vice President JD Vance, who told world leaders at this week’s AI summit in Paris that the “AI future is not going to be won by hand-wringing about safety.”To some people’s surprise, the US refused to sign the international AI declaration. To most people’s surprise, so too did the UK – choosing instead to side with the US over 60 other countries.

Feb 7, 2025 | tenentrepreneurs.org | Philip Salter

Last Sunday, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper ruled out plans to negotiate a Youth Mobility Scheme with the European Union. Let’s hope others in the Government convince her otherwise. It won’t come as a surprise to regular readers that we support youth mobility.

Dec 19, 2024 | forbes.com | Philip Salter

For three decades and counting, any culinary conversation with the world’s jet-setters is incomplete without mention of Nobu Matsuhisa – or Nobu San to you and me. His restaurants grace the world’s primest locations, his name is synonymous with innovative Japanese cuisine, and his partnership with Robert De Niro set the highest of standards in combining food with fame. So what’s the secret sauce? The recipe for success? How did he build an empire?
Beyond The Party: How Lulu Luchaire’s Ondalinda Is Redefining Global Connection And Cultural Celebration

Dec 16, 2024 | forbes.com | Philip Salter

"My biggest nightmare is the idea that we would all speak the same language, wear the same clothes, eat the same food, and worship the same Gods,” says Lulu Luchaire, founder of Ondalinda, after two minutes into my first chat with her. There’s no time for small talk – things get deep quickly. What started in 2015 as a small music and arts event in La Havana, Cuba, is now a global community built around a celebration in Careyes, Mexico and another in Montenegro.
Fueling Founder Resilience: A Playbook For Surviving And Thriving In Entrepreneurship

Nov 21, 2024 | forbes.com | Philip Salter

Entrepreneurs are the engine of economic growth, but they’re also human. Running a business puts unique – and sometimes profound – pressures on people. While these challenges are well recognized, robust data to truly understand their full impact has been lacking – until now. In Fueling Founder Resilience, hundreds of entrepreneurs were surveyed to gather data on their mental health and experiences of starting a business.

Sep 12, 2024 | forbes.com | Philip Salter

In the UK this week, the window closed for businesses, think tanks and lobby groups to submit their representations to the Treasury ahead of the Autumn Budget. This is a big one – with a new Government and a new Chancellor wanting to make their mark. While prior to the election, most entrepreneurs wanted to see a change of government, with a £22bn 'black hole to fill this year, many business owners are worried that Labour will be looking to them to help make up the shortfall.
