London’s startup scene is dense, but scattered. I wanted one place to see where startups cluster and where each company shows up next. So I built London Startup Map with AI, as a Product Manager. 376 startups + Luma events linked by company. Founders: reply with yours 👇

Most people only know these use cases of drones: photography, food delivery and recently, war. Most other ideas never get past a pilot, and thousands more haven’t been tried at all. So I'm hosting Drones for Good · UXDuck Hackathon (YC F26) in San Francisco in 14th November Curious beginners and experts are all welcome

I wonder what’s the right sweet spot
very weird thing happening rn technical people are sad, they think their skills are now useless non-technical people are desperately wishing they were more technical so they could use agents better
