Billions Spent But Where Is The Benefit? Whenever I start any presentation to banking folk, which I do pretty frequently these days, I start by talking about money. I do this not because I’m obsessed with the stuff, although I’m pretty fond of it, but because I think money is a pretty great barometer of the level of importance that organisations place upon something.

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.

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.
