  • How we can turn London’s thriving tech startups into billion dollar digital giants

    November 16, 2014

    Just four years after the Prime Minister and the mayor of London launched the Tech City initiative, London now has one of the fastest growing technology sectors in the world.

  • Quotas on immigration would be a disaster for London’s tech startups

    November 12, 2014

    Political debates over the benefits and drawbacks of immigration will no doubt rage on for years to come. But while the opposing sides pick apart the evidence over the impact of migrants on the public purse, one thing is clear: London’s tech ecosystem faces a very significant skills shortage. Government should be doing all it [...]

  • London tech startups attract $200m Singapore venture capital fund Infocomm

    October 21, 2014

    Singapore venture capital fund Infocomm is setting up shop in the capital, bringing its $200m (£124m) fund to startups in London and the rest of Europe for the first time.

    October 20, 2014

    European tech startups, including two teams from London, went head-to-head yesterday in the first round of a battle at Disrupt, one of Silicon Valley’s biggest annual tech conferences, which is currently in London for the first time.   London startups Lobster – an online marketplace for regular people to licence their photos and videos – [...]

  • Interview: Editor-at-large of Techcrunch Mike Butcher

    October 20, 2014

    Mike Butcher believes that London’s tech scene has the ability not only to compete with the likes of Berlin and Stockholm, but to rival Silicon Valley. As editor-at-large of technology blog Techcrunch, Butcher has seen the capital’s tech hub around the so-called Silicon Roundabout at Old Street mature into a developed community, large enough to [...]

  • Fintech kings talk starting from scratch, old clients and handing businesses a lifeline

    October 12, 2014

    In Holborn last week, a three year-old London-based company held a party to celebrate reaching £250m of business since its inception. If that doesn’t sound impressive, by the time the event was held, MarketInvoice was already nearing £270m. “We seriously underestimated repeat usage,” says co-founder and chief executive Anil Stocker. “Companies see how the platform [...]

  • London’s tech firms raise record $1bn of venture capital investment

    October 5, 2014

    London tech firms attracted a record $1bn (£626m) of venture capital investment in just the first nine months of 2014. The mammoth figure is more than 10 times what tech groups raised from venture capital firms (VCs) in the whole of 2010. Fundraising in London’s tech sector is currently up over 30 per cent on [...]

  • London’s tech boom is more than just hype – and the City is at its heart

    September 18, 2014

    WHILE London Technology Week may not yet rival London Fashion Week for glamour, there is real substance to the capital’s tech boom. This is why, for the first time, TechCrunch is bringing its Silicon Valley conference to London this October. A number of things are driving this tech boom. London has long acted as a [...]

  • Cubicle to co-working space: London startups want to poach City workers

    September 5, 2014

    More than 30 of London’s tech startups are looking to hire City workers away from their corporate cubicles to the world of beanbags and co-working spaces. Startup hiring conference Uncubed is hosting its first event in London, playing matchmaker between talent in traditional corporate jobs and creative technology companies, and urging people to ditch their [...]

  • Why I left the City for a startup – and why you should too

    September 5, 2014

    If there’s a reason I left my finance career to build startups it’s probably this: vomit. It happened one night at 10 or 11pm on the 33rd floor of a gleaming investment bank. It wasn’t unusual that I was there so late – in fact, it was mostly the norm, and I’d been run haggard [...]
