Where are Sussex's technical, creative & unconventional folk?


Brighton Dynamic

from The Skiff

Just under 100 of us work at The Skiff each week - around 25 per day.

It's lovely hanging out with a small group of people you can get to know well. But it's also important we get out of our little bubble from time to time. Just as it would be if we worked in a more conventional office.

One way we can expand our local connections is via this newsletter.

We'd like to feature more people and companies we don't see regularly.

Here are some people featured in Brighton Dynamic last year (all members of The Skiff):

If everyone reading this email suggested one company and one person to feature we'd have over 4,000 to include. 😅

Hinwick House in Bedfordshire

Brighton Dynamic from The Skiff I spent the first three days of this week with 22 software business founders at a grand venue in the midlands fit for filming The Traitors. Hinwick House in Bedfordshire But there were no traitors at this gathering. We all survived and came away from it richer. I've attended many similar events over the years but this one was by far the best. It challenged my thinking and changed my mind on a bunch of things I was previously quite confident about. I made new...

A 47km electric mountain bike ride around Cuckmere Valley and Friston Forest

Brighton Dynamic from The Skiff This week was far less busy than last week. I was tempted to spend all of yesterday in front of my screen seeing how far I could push the latest and greatest LLM while it's cheap. Instead I went for this bike ride with three fellow software folk: A 47km electric mountain bike ride around Cuckmere Valley and Friston Forest As well as covering quite a bit of ground in the real world we had some great conversations. Much of it revolved around one of my favourite...
