20/12/19City AMWhat does the next decade have in store for UK fintech?https://www.cityam.com/what-does-the-next-decade-have-in-store-for-uk-fintech/A decade ago, the term “fintech” had barely been coined, and the financial services world referred to more staid terms like “financial technology”.

High-growth startups focusing on the space were few and far between, and very few VCs had fintech on their investment radar.

According to Deloitte Global, by the end of 2016 fewer than 25 per cent of IT jobs in developed countries will be held by women. The media has a huge part to play in tackling the problem - which is why we tasked Katherine Lofthouse with putting together an inaugural ‘100 Women Role Models of Tech’ list. “The key criteria was women who hold roles in technology and have been actively in getting other women into tech,” she explained. “We’ve listing them in alphabetical order rather than in importance because it’s very subjective,” she said. The list celebrates the enormous contribution that women make to the tech sector.”BK

As a Vice President based in London, Karia helped shape Silicon Valley Bank's early-stage banking efforts in Europe, with a relatively recent focus on corporate and emerging VCs. Before joining SVB in late 2012, Karia spent a few years at Microsoft UK as its ‘Venture Capital/Emerging Business Lead’. I had a brief conversation with Bindi to see what comes next, but she said it was too soon to discuss her plans in a lot of detail, only that she will stick to her passion for entrepreneurship and helping out early-stage businesses, particularly when it comes to connecting startups with VCs and corporates. One thing is for sure: there's no chance she's departing the European startup ecosystem, so stay tuned.BK

According to research from Oxford Economics, the digital tech industry will contribute £18bn to London’s economy alone by the end of this year. This is sit up and take notice stuff. The reaction to a recent episode of my video series Digital Futures, entitled ‘What it’s really like to be a woman in tech’, genuinely caught me by surprise.

Yet the reality is that attempts to increase diversity in the boardrooms of the UK’s largest enterprises are declining. Research shows that non-white managers in the 7,700 positions below the boardroom of FTSE 100 firms fell to 5.7 percent from 6.2 percent a year ago; meaning the next generation of boardroom employees are beginning to look very similar. Meanwhile, the contributions of east Asian entrepreneurs in the UK tech scene were championed by UK minister Vaizey. The Top 100 Asian Stars in the UK tech list, sponsored by KPMG and startup incubator Wayra featured digital influencers like Dame Zarine Kharas, the CEO of Justgiving.com as well as Bindi Karia, vice president of Silicon Valley Bank, Reshma Sohoni, CEO of Seedcamp and Nikhil Shah, co-founder of MixCloud to name a few.SVB

Cross-platform, interactief en real-timehttp://www.marketingfacts.nl/berichten/tnw-2013-swipe-presentatie-tool-21e-eeuw-crossplatform-interactief-realtimeEen vast onderdeel van The Next Web conferentie is de Startup Rally (gesteund door Microsoft BizSpark), een platform waar jonge bedrijven de mogelijkheid hebben om voor een wereldwijd publiek, pers en investeerders hun startup te presenteren. 20 startups (16 finalisten + 4 wildcards) gingen in 4 rondes (van 5 pitches) de strijd met elkaar aan in de "Blue room". De sessie-winnaar mocht vervolgens op het grote podium ("Red room") presenteren. Tevens streden de startups om de prijzen: beste mobiele app, beste web app, beste startup en de publieksprijs. De jury, dit jaar bestaande uit Bindi Karia (Silicon Valley Bank), Mark Voermans (Microsoft), Sitar Teli (Connect Ventures) en Robin Wauters (The Next Web), koos Powered Now (end-to-end tablet oplossing voor field-service bedrijven om tijd te besparen) als beste mobiele app, Meetin.gs (tool om meetings online en offline te plannen/managen) als beste web app. Infographic maker Infogr.am won in de categorie beste startup van Swipe, Gui.de en Paylane. Tyba (een tool waarmee op een makkelijke manier junior talent kan worden gezocht en gevonden) ging aan de haal met de publieksprijs, die bepaald werd door het aantal mentions via Twitter.SVB
