Firstly, a big thank you to Chris Hill, Richard Aitchison & Louise Brett and the whole Team at Deloitte and Deloitte Legal for hosting us at their headquarters in London, wiht the event being held in a VIP private space up on up on the 14th floor.

The Panel, discussed topics as varied as the
Challenging Fintech landscape – as it becomes more complex & startup founders have to deal with many competing priorities.
What (legal) tasks
should be at the Top of a CEOs “to do list” prior to their first fund-raise (and afterwards). Hint….
Regulations came up a lot.

CMC Invest – shared his lessons with other Intrapreneurs and Fintech entrepreneurs in attendance – as did Ekko founder Oli Cook who was also sharing his growth journey thus far. Oli also explained that ESG is
not just a “Sales” grimmick, and the panel made predictions for 2023 and what their priorities & focus areas were going to be for the next few years.
