News of the Day
Paddy Cosgrave, co-founder of the Web Summit tech conference, has resumed his position as CEO following his resignation in October due to controversial comments on the Israel/Gaza conflict shared on social media. Without addressing his earlier remarks, Cosgrave announced a shift towards creating more intimate, community-focused experiences within Web Summit's growing event portfolio. This strategy aims to cater to diverse interests and agendas, enhancing the value and appeal of these large-scale conferences for individual attendees. Despite past criticism and the withdrawal of major sponsors over his comments, Cosgrave's return marks a new chapter for Web Summit, emphasizing small-group interactions and community building as core to its future direction.

Founders can be good or bad at raising money. Sometimes we investors mistake that skill for being operationally good or bad. Ideally you need both but I much prefer operationally strong.
