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? Does it signify a company with a sustainable future, or just one that’s good at attracting investor interest?

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. Amidst high-profile down rounds and large-scale tech staff layoffs, there is still reason for optimism for early-stage startups looking to raise funding.

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.

Investment in UK climate technology is at an all-time high with over £2B raised by domestic ClimateTech startups last year alone. However, early-stage investment into climate technology, particularly climate hardware, still lags significantly behind the venture safe havens of SaaS and Fintech.

Transport was hammered by the pandemic, with restrictions in place the last thing that people could do was travel. As a result, Seatfrog - much like the trains that connected the country - abruptly came to a halt and watched 97% of revenue get wiped out overnight.

Pressures on businesses to address systematic bias are here to stay. In a recent BNP Paribas ruling, a former employee of the bank won a £2M pay-out for being discriminated against due to her gender. We are witnessing real time repercussions of ignoring workplace bias.

The events industry was one of the sectors worst affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent health restrictions. Forced to adapt to a new reality, organisations have heavily relied on the use of online technology to maintain links with their various stakeholders. This has allowed private companies and public institutions to reach a much wider audience, with hybrid formats becoming the new norm.
