Manage episode 441489741 series 3321415
James Codling, managing partner at Volution discusses how despite a slowdown in funding and concerns over profits, the UK is still seen globally as a massive hub for fintech, how the hype around British fintech successes is not always spread evenly and why building a bank is the most difficult category of fintech one can pursue.
Volution is a London-based venture capital investor that focuses largely on fintech and software-as-a-service companies that have progressed past the seed and Series A stages. Codling explains that in the UK, there have been incredible efforts to support startups to get to the Series A level, but there has been a myth that once they get there, they can manage alone. Codling calls for a holistic approach from the public and private sectors when looking to support businesses.
