Deepa

London, we’re meeting again this Thursday 🥂 The last one had such good energy, so we’re doing it again even better vibes this time. Join us from 6:30pm onwards for drinks, chats, and meeting other founders, builders, creators, and people using AI in real life. No panels. No pressure. Just good conversations. RSVP here: luma.com/2btezefx Londonmaxxing to the max.

@DanielSmidstrup Hello!

If you're building with AI, let's connect

🚨 @Wise has officially moved its primary listing from London to the US 🇺🇸 and will start trading on Nasdaq today. Wise processed £49.4 billion in cross-border volume last quarter alone (+26% YoY), grew active customers to 11.3 million (+22%), and continues to quietly build one of the strongest global payments infrastructures outside the traditional banking system. The message is becoming hard to ignore: If you’re building a global FinTech platform at scale, the US capital markets are increasingly becoming the endgame. Over the past years we’ve seen: • FinTech IPOs shifting to the US • European companies chasing US investor attention • Dollar reporting replacing local currencies • More pressure on London and European exchanges to stay competitive The London 🇬🇧 → New York 🇺🇸 FinTech migration continues.. Do you think Europe is losing its biggest FinTech champions to the US capital markets?

Perhaps a restoration of dignity is in order

Not sure who needs to hear this but never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The biggest office flex in London today? It’s happening at Revolut’s HQ. And here’s the plot twist: Just days after my update on Visa’s big move to Canary Wharf, another heavyweight is joining the Docklands revival: Deutsche Bank is set to take ~250,000 sq ft in the same building where Revolut occupies the top floors, roughly double Revolut’s footprint. And yes, that means Deutsche could soon place its own logo on one side of a tower currently dominated by Revolut’s branding. A perfect snapshot of 2025’s FinTech–Bank crossover era 😉

Meta reportedly plans to slash Metaverse budget by up to 30% techcrunch.com/2025/12/04/met…

Too much attention makes a donkey think he’s a lion

A logo or color scheme won’t make a bank stand out. Personalized experiences, proactive offers, and insights delivered at the right time are what create lasting customer loyalty.

You don’t need infinite compute to create infinite possibility. Everyone says you need billions in capex to hit frontier quality. Cool story. LTX used a lean team, shipped LTX-2, and landed shoulder-to-shoulder with the giants. It also broke the “only scale wins” myth.

Days of November, still all the same ❄️ #poem #TFL #London #November #ShortDays

Not sure who needs to hear this but “probably fine” is not a compliance strategy

Nothing drains a high performer faster than realising their reward for excellence is cleaning up someone else's incompetence.

Not sure who needs to hear this but you will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.

Revolut isn’t just expanding… it’s collecting licenses like trophies.

You never know how heavy the weight others are carrying. Choose compassion even if judgement feels easier 💜

Well @HSBC_UK, I guess “all services down” is the new normal… Called customer service..they confirmed they’re dealing with the issue. Money? Can’t see it. 😬 #FinTech #FinFail #BankingOnNothing

Anytime someone throws a Great Gatsby themed party, I have to assume they never finished the book.

@asda I had an incident in one of your stores today where a sharp metal hazard ripped my shoe. Luckily I wasn’t injured, but the manager advised me to report. Please advise how I can formally do this online.
