Why is it so hard for FS companies to get tech right?
Getting tech right in banks is hard. We get this because our experts have worked in some of the biggest financial services institutions and experienced how things can be done differently. In this article, we’ll share some of the insights that we’ve learnt along the way.
How early-stage investors can navigate the most chaotic economy in living memory
Mortgages and ancient sex positions aren’t two things you’d usually put together (or want to read about at the same time, for that matter). But digital mortgage broker Habito has ripped up the rulebook and created a Mortgage Kamasutra book in its place. And we can’t help but respect them for it.

Did you know that when they’re not dishing up masterly analysis, everyone’s favourite web3 wizards - 11:FS Global Strategy Director, Crypto Mauricio Magaldi and Visa Head of Crypto Cuy Sheffield - like to dabble in a spot of divination? I know, right?!
Financing for app and game developers isn’t fit for purpose
As I sit here trying to write something strictly about fintech, there’s only one thing on my mind: how important it is to have an employer that truly values pregnant employees.
How is fintech helping with customer stress?
Tottenham Hotspur are completely cashless (and trophyless) at their new stadium. Lionel Messi has launched the ‘Messiverse’ in partnership with blockchain platform Ethernity. Manchester City and Laybuy have teamed up to offer a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) service to fans. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
