- ClumsyPilot 1y agoThat's what I am saying - look at the size of deals in UK fintech - Revolut, $577 million, Monzo $374 million, checkout.com $333 million Uber's Series C was $361M, that's the kind of money you need to put a company on the global map.

Lots more too. I won't deny that the UK specialises in fintech, but there's a lot more going on than that.
