11:FS Head of Research Sarah Kocianski tells you everything you need to know about the deal no one saw coming.

Each week, Leda Glyptis, CEO of 11:FS Foundry, creates #LedaWrites. This week, she explains why patience is no longer a virtue big banks can reply upon.

Challengers going mainstream, infrastructure, wealth management for the masses and a bunch more in predictions for what 2020 holds for fintech and financial services.

Happy New Year fintech fans! Let’s kick things off in style.

It’s been a fantastic year for fintech and financial services, with so much happening across the world. Partnerships have sprung up between incumbents and fintechs with groundbreaking changes happening both on regulatory and commercial levels. Some we predicted, and some we didn’t. Here’s a quick recap of what we got right, and what we didn’t.

TL;DR: More closures are coming, Libra probably isn’t launching in 2020 (at least not in its current form) and blockchain’s next sleeper hit is already here.

Every Thursday, Leda Glyptis, 11:FS Chief of Staff creates #LedaWrites. This week she turns her attention to bankers behaving badly…and cookies.

It’s that time again – with a new year on the horizon, we’re doing something a little different for 2019 and reviewing our best and most popular podcast episodes.

The UK went to the polls on June 8th, and the outcome was… inconclusive. Instead of the Conservative majority Theresa May sought (and was originally predicted), the result was a hung Parliament where no party won enough seats to govern independently.

It’s that time again – as the year draws to a close, we’re looking back on our best and most popular blog posts of 2019!

As we head into a new year, it’s looking more and more likely that the UK might be at risk of sacrificing its beloved fintech crown… … to the Middle East! 👑

Each week, Leda Glyptis, CEO of 11:FS Foundry creates #LedaWrites. This week she discusses the day doubt and false hope collided.

Our 11:FS Tough Mudder team crossed the finish line on a sunny Saturday morning complete with bluebells at their feet and birds chirping in the distance. On the other hand they’d just crawled through something called the ‘Arctic Enema’ so it’s not quite as idyllic as you’d think.

Fresh off the finale of his massive hit podcast The Missing Cryptoqueen, Jamie Bartlett sits down with us to talk about Dr. Ruja, crypto scams and more.

The final After Dark of 2019 saw a show built around Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, lots of questions about where the industry is going and plenty of questionable Xmas jumpers.
