Hi Carlos, Tom, Ricardo and Oli, Thanks for the taking the time to conduct an AMA and I apologise in advance if you get asked this a lot, however may I ask a question about the types of company that you consider for the programme? Do you have a preference for sectors e.g. retail, financial services, gaming? Do your campers need to be software or have some form of "protectable" IP? Or can they be service configurations using existing or emerging technologies and hardware. The reason for the question is that I saw your company portfolio but note that mine would not fit any of these categories. Best regards, John

Thanks for the response and I think I understand what you mean by "capital efficient". Two questions: A] Do you mean this in a qualitative or quantitative sense? If the latter, please can you provide a metric? B] Some new business ideas in less developed economies are simple adaptations of existing models in developed countries. Some require capital although this can be sourced separately on an asset or project finance basis. How would you assess these if the capital intense activity can be demonstrated that it can be financed separately? Sorry for long question :-0

Hi again, I note that you have a Berlin programme starting soon. 1) when is the next London programme and 2) would you consider a programme in New Delhi? Thanks, John
