I am Fred Stevens-Smith, and I’m a designer and entrepreneur based in London.
I’m cofounder of a startup called cldrdr. I sometimes work at Seedcamp.
I tweet and sometimes take photos. My online cv is at LinkedIn.
I’m interested in basically everything.

Apple made $1 billion dollars per week. Profit.
A year ago I noticed a pattern in the least successful startups we’d funded: they all seemed hard to talk to. It felt as if there was some kind of wall between us. I could never quite tell if they understood what I was saying.
