Lots of talk about diversity in technology. The truth is, most Fintechs don’t care about it. They care more about the PERCEPTION of diversity and ensuring they uphold the status quo

Barclays advert about ‘making money work for you’ is a load of rubbish. Do they really think giving customers a transaction feed and a couple of groupings will solve issues with financial education and habit forming?! #barclays #fintech #fintechtruths

Anyone going to talk about the collapse of quasi Ponzi scheme at Football Index? Effectively a trading platform with footballers as the instrument and many folks have lost money and had their lives ruined..

There seems to be a trend of Fintech’s– who are known to have terrible company cultures – but promote externally about culture and how great they are at looking after employees. Why is your attrition so high then? #practicewhatyoupreach

Seeing lots of Fintech podcasts and platforms talk about diversity when it’s Black History month or Women in Tech week. At all other times diversity is still an afterthought. Go check out your fave podcast and check the last time they had a non-white face on...

Is being a VC akin to being a stockbroker in the 80s? Lots of parallels between the roles. Greed. Bro culture. Limited access to the ‘inner circle’. No accountability.

There’s a guy in Fintech who is a full on narcissist. Calls himself ‘the guru of fintech’ but offers no insights or original predictions. Companies who work with his organisation don’t give him repeat business and he fires anyone who disagrees with him. You know who it is…

A popular Fintech Consultancy/Media hype machine looks like it’s in trouble AGAIN proving that running a business like a travelling circus doesn’t work. Client goodwill runs out, employees spread the word of their bad experiences and words gets around…

Fintech is going through its own “another white boy with a podcast” phase but with newsletters. If you’ve only worked for a VC firm or done very hands off advisory work, that doesn’t qualify you to provide ‘insights’ on different areas of fintech. Pass the mic to someone else

Let’s stop following ‘fintech geeks’ like Simon Taylor with paper bag opinions not back up by any expertise. Having a big social media following isn’t proof of expertise.

Twitter has made likes anonymous so it’s the perfect time to periodically share stories from an infamous UK ‘challenger fintech consultancy’ that for legal purposes I’ll call 100:BS If you’ve worked for this company as I have DM me and I’ll add them to the stories I’ll share..
