About this episode:

London was the fintech capital.
Smart regulation. Absurd levels of talent. Mountains of capital. All crammed inside the M25 like a pressure cooker. And for years, it worked.

We weren’t just on the map. We were the map - the bloody compass, even.

But fast forward to today, and it doesn’t feel like we’re top dog anymore.

London’s not punching like it used to.

So… what happened?

More importantly - what now?

In this episode, host David M. Brear and a panel of knowledgeable guests ask: is London still leading the world in fintech and tech innovation, or has the crown quietly slipped?

This week's guests:

  • Valentina Kristensen - Corporate Affairs Director at OakNorth
  • Oliver Smith - Freelance Journalist
