𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐊’𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞? From the stage of FinTech Connect, Roberto Napolitano, MBA, CMO at Innovate Finance, delivered a bold reality check: the UK may still lead Europe’s fintech scene, but maintaining this edge in a shifting market demands more than past laurels. 🔎 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐊 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝? Despite a global decline in fintech investment since its peak in 2021, the UK remains the 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 for attracting capital and ranks 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, just behind the US. Rising competitors like India, however, highlight the need for continued innovation and resilience. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧 2025: ➡️ #Capital: The UK still outpaces other European nations, but sustaining this momentum will require addressing rising competition. ➡️ #Talent: Attracting and retaining the right talent remains a critical factor for growth. ➡️ #Regulation: Striking the right balance between #innovation and #compliance will be key to staying ahead. With just a few weeks until 2025, these challenges—and opportunities—are firmly in focus. Bobsguide is live at #FinTechConnect2024, covering the conversations that matter.

In fintech, the enduring winners build moats from technology, not just capital. A few points on this: ➞ Fintech encompasses wildly diverse business models with varied outlooks. Blindly chasing the latest hype often ends badly. ➞ Valuations swing wildly between private and public markets. "Locals" focus on long-term value creation. ➞ Interest rates make or break many fintechs. Locals spot rate-sensitive business models and adjust accordingly. ➞ Early traction provides little signal in some fintech niches. Locals emphasize sustainable differentiation. ➞ The best founders boast deep industry expertise. Locals back tested veterans over brash newcomers. ➞ Regulation remains fintech’s ultimate gatekeeper. Locals incorporate compliance from day one. Locals recognize software and data’s potential to transform financial services. Tourists chase the new shiny object. This perspective shapes all our investments at Foundation Capital. The key is experience and discernment. Thoughts? If you want to discuss further, comment or DM me! 📩

Last week Philip Belamant (CEO & co-founder Zilch) and I sat down for a fireside chat with our Tech Nation #futurefifty cohort, alumni, investors and partners. As the fastest fintech to reach double unicorn status in Europe, it was fascinating to dive into the challenges Zilch faced and their keys to success over the last 4 years. I only found out after the event - this is one for the firstminute capital anti-portfolio, team screened it in 2020, and in not great network due diligence, a negative signal was flagged (hindsight says clearly wrongly!). Philip is clearly an inspiring CEO who has built a top team and (hybrid culture). Also he is a fellow immigrant from South Africa - lets ensure the UK stays attractive to immigrant founders! We discussed: 🦄 What it takes to hit double unicorn status 🏁 USA market entry timing (a retrenchment before a return) 🚧 Overcoming barriers in the FinTech landscape 💼 Convincing the best and brightest to get on board for the ride 💚 Building a culture where people are itching to start work on Monday 🏠 Strategic decision making on which competencies to insource vs outsource 🧠 Tapping into AI’s full potential Big thanks to Johnny M. our great cohort lead, Ryan M. and the Zilch team and partners at HSBC Innovation Banking for making a great event happen
