Correct answer - 1 in 3! In the UK and Australia, the fundamentals of coding are a mandatory part of school curriculums for students as young as five! With the number of organizations dedicated to teaching children to code after school or during the summers growing as well.

@Cliveref @UKCrowdfunding @AnthonydeSouza @Rob_JWilson @raisingpartners @twintangibles @BrandRefinery @DropFundraising @WowYourCrowd @BizDocBromley Looks like they've learned the phrase by hearing it rather than reading it (deplorable – I know).

Creating a strong & experienced exec team Tom can rely on in times like this is testament to his drive in Monzo's early days. But he shows admirable strength to put himself first despite the growing media attention and scrutiny the company faces.

Tom's talent & drive comes from working with small groups of passionate people to create something new that people love. And he sees growing from 4m to 40m users, and achieving profitability & IPO as exciting challenges better placed with his exec team - techcrunch.com/2020/05/20/mon…

He took Monzo from record-breaking startup, to one of Europe's most-loved and valuable fintechs. But yesterday, Founder and President Tom Blomfield took the brave and necessary decision to leave Monzo in the hands of the execs, for his own mental health - sifted.eu/articles/monzo…
