A slightly different one from me this week.
I'm currently on Turkey’s coast, enjoying the fine weather. Part rest and relaxation (a bit of early morning fishing), before heading into Istanbul, part business.
Monday night (the 24th) and Tuesday night (the 25th), I’ll be in Istanbul, and I'm inviting five or six founders to join us for dinner at a restaurant overlooking the Bosphorus - Mezze, barbecue, and some raki poured over ice as the sun goes down.
If you're in Istanbul and fancy some casual drinks, business chat, and getting to know one another in a relaxed setting, just reply to this email and let me know - either night works, whichever suits.
It's an evening with founders at a similar stage who are actually building things and/or have scaled and sold businesses. It’s as much a chance to see where we might be able to help each other's businesses as it is to just enjoy the evening.
Be great to meet some of you face to face.

P.s. - this is me and my father-in-law enjoying some (very) early morning fishing, we caught some Lambouka (AKA Dorado) and fed our family that evening - lovely times!
