Brexit: One exit the tech sector doesn't want to see (op-ed)

Editor's note: this is a guest post from Nic Brisbourne, an early-stage VC at Forward Partners + blogger at The Equity Kicker.

I frequently get frustrated by comparisons between London and Silicon Valley. London and Silicon Valley have different DNA - the Valley is a monoculture where technology IS the business. The Valley excels in large-scale, horizontal B2C businesses.

London with its strong history in industries such as finance, advertising, retail and fashion (amongst others) is a polyculture. In London, successful technology businesses are being built in these deep verticals where there is rich experience and skill.
