A food supply crisis lies behind the headlines this summer of record high temperatures, wild fires and water shortages. Farmers in the UK are seeing two-thirds of the rainfall they normally would in the driest summer since 1976 and Europe is baking. The way we currently feed ourselves isn’t just killing the planet, it’s killing us too and we only have ourselves to blame.

In huge news for students and workers across the UK, a four-day week is being trialled by a number of leading companies. Should it be successful, we may see many other businesses adopt it and it could eventually become the standard working week.

Money is intricately entwined with almost every aspect of adulthood, from deciding on a career, a credit card, a car loan, a mortgage and investment options to starting a business, getting married, having kids and retiring comfortably.

Buy now, pay later is a method of payment with instalments at a small or interest-free rate. The payment method sky-rocketed in 2020. But why? The COVID-19 pandemic. The global crisis created job insecurity, with people seeking alternative means to sourcing income. However, the paradox lies in the fact that people flooded to shopping online and relying on ecommerce because of closed brick and mortar establishments.

Over the past few years doomsayers have pointed to state protectionism, the Covid pandemic and now the Ukraine conflict as signs that the post-cold war growth of globalisation is on the decline. More pointedly, in the digital realm, the fears are that the world is splintering into different versions of the internet with three dominant models of handling data – US corporate driven and two-tiered, Chinese state regulated and a European privacy led model.

Every startup wants to be a unicorn. If you’re the founder of a new tech company, it’s easy to see the attraction of a $1B valuation. Unicorn status provides resources, opportunities and validation, but is it the best measure of success?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past three months, you’ve probably noticed that the once sunny fintech economic climate has become increasingly foggy. There are certainly specialists who can speculate on why exactly this has happened, but as someone in the field, and as a founder myself, I’m well-placed to report on how it’s affecting the sector that I have called home for over thirty years.

Starting your own business can take a lot of hard graft. Success doesn't simply come overnight, after all. Instead, it has to be incessantly worked towards, putting in the man-hours required to get your startup off the ground in the right way.

We get asked frequently at present about what the global downturn and current fundraising environment means for us, a growing company in the UK’s private Fintech/Regtech sector.

It’s hard to think of a more successful example of growth via strategic acquisition, or ‘buy-and-build’, than Berkshire Hathaway. Originally a textiles manufacturer, Warren Buffett spent eight decades turning the firm into a corporate behemoth with subsidiaries in everything from insurance to high-tech.
