- nl 6y agoI don't think it changes anything, but is additional correct information. Edit: For reasons that are extremely unclear, someone is downvoting people who are saying this. To make it clear why this information is important: If you run a startup and a potential investor is this British group I think it's important to know what else they invest in.
