FinTech does not live in London - It is global

“What happened? It was supposed to be Grexit, not Brexit!” These words, spoken by an Athens taxi driver, as I made way to a hackathon in Greece, the day after the UK voted to leave the European Union. I shrugged. My twitter feed was in meltdown by people who were simultaneously ‘shocked’ and ‘scared’ and ‘sad’ by a vote that they saw as not a refe...

Invest in dirty fingernails, not manicured hands

I used to work in an office in the Fruit and Wool Exchange on Brushfield Street in London back before Spitalfields Market was done over in the midst of the dot.com booming late 90s.

Financial accelerators to wind down as digital ecosystem evolves - Forrester

Interesting, however your choice of image is a bit misleading. Rather showcasing a 'Wrong Way' this research highlights the natural evolution of startup incubation and big bank partnerships. Business models that worked five years ago - now need to change to anticipate changing business and tech culture. Models that change do not invalidate business practices that worked in the past.
