New York Times (July 12)

“Mr. Branson’s flight reinforces the hopes of space enthusiasts that routine travel to the final frontier may soon be available to private citizens, not just the professional astronauts of NASA and other space agencies.” Other billionaire entrepreneurs are on his heels, all “risking injury or death to fulfill their childhood aspirations — and advance the goal of making human spaceflight unexceptional.”

“Suddenly, in just a matter of a few months, the vast dealmaking machinery that caters to wealthy entrepreneurs has started buzzing with a level of activity that some industry veterans say they haven’t seen before, potentially setting up a cascade of sales for later this year.

“Building a company to last and building a company to sell are the same thing.” Young entrepreneurs shouldn’t “be seduced by shortcuts” and they should “implement best practices.” In short, “you should build it as if you were going to have it forever and yet, at the same time, build it so that you could sell it tomorrow for as much money as possible, even if you don’t intend to.”

“It will almost certainly turn out that Britain was more powerful—with more sovereignty—when it was part of a large organisation with international clout.” Following Brexit, the UK will likely be isolated, “with far fewer allies. British consumers, workers and entrepreneurs will pay the price.” But the UK’s fall should provide the rest of the world with a valuable lesson. “The sight of Britain’s sudden banishment to a world where you are better off dealing with cousins will be a useful tonic for everybody else.”

“Despite what politicians say,” entrepreneurs don’t create many jobs. “Successful entrepreneurs almost always create real value in the economy and grow the economic pie for all of us,” but they “do not always create enormous numbers of jobs, particularly for the middle class.” In fact, “the creative destruction that accompanies entrepreneurship today often destroys middle-class jobs.”

“Europe kills entrepreneurialism…. It has created only one of the world’s 500 biggest firms since 1975; California has given birth to 26.” Among the hurdles are conservative bankruptcy laws, weak funding opportunities and inflexible labor regulations.

“StartUp Britain” is being launched by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs with the aim of “celebrating, inspiring and accelerating enterprise in the UK.” The Prime Minister is lending support and the new campaign has Government backing. Start-ups and small firms account for nearly 60% of private sector jobs in the UK. Sir Richard Branson writes that “firing up a new generation of entrepreneurs will be a crucial part of our recovery and essential for creating sustainable growth in Britain over the next decade and beyond.”
