State of UK Fintech 2018

I had the enormous fun and privilege last month of teaching a fintech masterclass to the Said Business School MBA students from Oxford University. It’s my second time doing this, at the kind invitation of Professor Nir Vulkan. He is an expert on e-commerce and market design and, among other things, organises an annual field trip where his students spend a few days in London talking to start-ups, scale-ups, blockchain experts, regulators, government and CEOs as part of their course. It’s an amazing couple of days and the students are seriously impressive.

I was delighted to kick off the trip with an overview session of the Fintech landscape in the UK at the moment. Some of you may find interesting, so I’ve linked to it here.
