Stagnation Nation

Tech for Good Live

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Tech for Good Live podcast, a podcast for the curious minds out there who are intrigued by the prospects of using technology for people and planet. More often than not it’s a space for us to come together weekly to discuss what’s going on in the tech and civil society world.

In this episode we discuss the stagnation of the UK economy and a startup hoping to disrupt the VC experience.

Host Dama Sathianathan is joined by TFGL podcast regular Greg Ashton.

Our special guest for this episode is Louise Marston from Resolution Ventures, the venture arm of the Resolution Foundation.
