It was champagne and canapés all round last night at the London VCs and Entrepreneurs Year End Party, setup by The Founders Club, and hosted at MoFo (that stands for Morrison Foerster, a global law firm, not what you were thinking).
Attendees included the great and good from technology, cleantech and medtech companies, investors and VCs.

During a Q&A session with Jon Moulton, focused on building successful businesses, Jon gave a beautiful tip on judging the potential of a senior management candidate: Note their marital track record. One divorce is most desirable, it seems, suggesting they learnt quickly from their original mistake.
Zero divorces, impressive, but perhaps just beginners luck. Two or more divorces suggest a failure to learn and, perhaps, that they may not be 100 per cent focused on work.
As an unmarried tech PR guy, clearly I have some courting to do before I even begin to worry about an MBA….
