Fintech Fringe announces that Whitecap Consulting has joined Scale & Grow, its consulting arm for scaling fintechs, bringing strategic firepower to the collective.
Whitecap is a strategy consultancy with deep regional reach and a proven track record in helping fintech, financial services and tech firms analyse, develop, and implement growth strategies. It will provide commercial strategy support to UK fintechs and international firms seeking to develop their market presence, by delivering structured, practical insights that accelerate their commercial growth.
Scale & Grow has already assembled a best-in-class team of hands-on practitioners to support fintechs with everything from compliance and capital to PR, talent, and legal. Whitecap adds a critical layer: strategic growth and commercial know-how.
Julian Wells, Director at Whitecap, says:
“We’ve been watching the Fintech Fringe ecosystem build at pace, and Scale & Grow feels like a natural evolution. We’ve got shared goals - and now, a shared platform to support the fintechs that need us. With our strength across regional ecosystems, we’re ideally placed to help to join the dots across the UK.”
Calypso Harland, Founder and CEO of Fintech Fringe, added:
“Whitecap brings the strategic clarity and market insight we needed to supercharge Scale & Grow. We’re already strong across the operational stack - but now we’ve got the top-level strategic muscle to help fintechs go faster and smarter. And just as importantly, we’re values-aligned. That matters.”
Whitecap’s direct involvement in Fintech North and Fintech West gives the firm an ear to the ground across key regions. Combined with Fintech Fringe’s footprint, fintechs now have unparalleled access to market insight, senior expertise, and fast-mobilising commercial support.
“In a recent report, Whitecap analysed 250 fintech scaleups outside of London, finding that fintechs with structured support were more likely to raise funding and grow faster. That’s what Scale & Grow delivers - and with Whitecap on board, we’ve turned up the dial.” - Calypso Harland
