While at Money 20/20 in Las Vegas, Sam Maule, our Managing Partner of 11FS North America caught up with Amber Baldet, an Executive Director at JP Morgan, and the Programme Lead for Blockchain Centre of Excellence.

When building and growing any new business, our thought process is challenged consistently to ensure the proposed course of action delivers a positive impact. While applicable to all parts of a business, these conversations between teams developing new products are a daily occurrence. And no, they’re not always easy.

David Brear and Jason Bates were put through their paces when they met Gary Vaynerchuk who gave them one of his famous $100,000 sessions.

Behavioural Economics has been having a good few years. It’s a topic that’s won multiple Nobel prizes, saved the UK taxpayer hundreds of millions of pounds, and is rapidly becoming one of the tools used by the best product and policy designers around the world.

This week’s news show marks Fintech Insider’s 150th episode – and what an episode! Recorded live at our offices in London’s WeWork Aldgate, episode 150 was Fintech Insider: After Dark 2 – a news show with a difference.

At 11:FS we’re always looking to get young people into fintech. We want to recruit the new wave of young people coming in to the market who want to get ahead. Part of that is our internship programme. But we also take on young people looking for work experience, whether it’s to get a taste of the industry they love or to try something new.Lucy was at 11:FS recently for two days, working in our marketing department and getting to grips with what fintech really means. We asked her a few questions to see what she got out of the experience.

Sam Maule interviewed Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple at Ripple’s own event, Swell, in Toronto, for Blockchain Insider.

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming a (fin)tech OG, Nick Ogden, to our offices to talk founding firms, online commerce and building ClearBank.

Organisation design is essential in building a strong working culture. Getting it wrong can cause a domino effect of problems and inefficiencies across a business.

It is the nature of finance that, at its core, is risk.

Here at 11:FS we’re big on transparency and letting you know what’s going on in our company. We’ve recently made a huge hire to be our COO and we couldn’t be more excited about it.

I was at a big bank’s conference the other day and was intrigued at how often the subject of cryptocurrencies and bitcoin came up.

Of course, these are our top 3 blogs of 2018. We took a look at the data, talked amongst ourselves about which ones we liked best and came up with the best blogs we’ve put out this year.

Disclaimer: Yes the piece is entirely structured around the lyrics of a Pulp song. Yes, we take requests.

I do not profess to be, as way too many in the tech industry do today, a blockchain guru or subject matter expert. I leave that designation to 11:FS co-founder Simon Taylor. Simon is the MacGyver of the blockchain community. Give him a stapler, a can of Bud Lite, Duct Tape, and a flashlight, and he will somehow concoct a DLT smart contract solution for a client. A solution that can actually be delivered and that addresses a real business case.
