“Innovation flourishes when it keeps just the right distance from politics.” On our #FFGlobal2025 Bloomberg live stage, Sir Nick Clegg reflects on the delicate dance between policymakers and tech innovators and why that balance matters more than ever. As the former President of Global Affairs at Meta and UK Deputy PM, he’s uniquely placed to unpack the intersection of #power, #politics, and #progress. 🎥 Watch the full panel here: https://lnkd.in/erzmdupA #FFLive #FF20 #FoundersForum #WhereTheFutureUnfolds #NickClegg #TechAndPolitics #AI #Innovation

In a tech landscape that’s more competitive than ever, ambitious businesses need more than just strategy – they need partners who understand brand, growth, pace, and the realities of scaling. That’s why we’re expanding our strategic partnership with Miroma Group by acquiring a significant stake in Wake The Bear – the marketing agency behind some of the UK’s fastest-growing brands, including Stripe, Marshmallow, and Simba Sleep | B Corp™. As part of this next chapter, Wake The Bear will rebrand as Miroma Founders Network, expanding on the successful joint venture launched by our two groups last year. Together, we’re building a platform that offers brand and growth strategy, media, partnerships, tech, and a new AI consultancy, all shaped by what scaleups need to succeed. If you're a rapidly scaling disruptor brand who wants to reinvent how you show up, learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ekV5bZdR Richard Stanton | Toby Strangewood | Alistair MacCallum | Brent Hoberman Marc Boyan

In 2001, most online encyclopaedias were built by academics for academics, locked behind paywalls. Jimmy Wales saw the opportunity no one else did: to build the world's knowledge repository for everyone, by everyone. From a simple idea about trusting strangers on the internet to the 4th most popular website globally, Wikipedia has now democratised access to 63 million pages of knowledge across every language and culture, proving that collective intelligence can triumph over institutional control. In our latest Meet the Founder series, Jimmy Wales shares how a "pathological optimist" built the only nonprofit in the top 50 websites worldwide, why human editors will always matter in an AI world, and his vision for rebuilding trust in our digital age.
