Startups & Venture Capital in the United Kingdom: The Global Startup HubFrontline Ventures
The document discusses the startup ecosystem in the United Kingdom. It notes that the UK leads the EU in terms of $1 billion "unicorn" companies and startup funding. While UK venture capital investment dipped in 2016, possibly due to Brexit, the country remains a global technology hub and attracts significant investment from US investors. The UK also has many successful startup exits, strong university programs, supportive government policies, and a large talent pool of software developers and engineers, making it an attractive location for tech entrepreneurs and venture capital firms.
European Technology Growth Conference (May 2015)gerardgrech
The document discusses the growth of the UK's digital economy and its key drivers. It notes that Tech City UK was launched in 2010 to support digital entrepreneurship in London and UK cities. It outlines 6 key growth drivers powering the UK's digital economy: creative talent and expertise, investment capital, a strong business environment, infrastructure, a rich ecosystem, and location/culture. It provides statistics on digital employment and trends in areas like investment and acquisitions to argue that the UK is a leading digital economy.
This document provides an overview of technology trends and startup activity globally. It notes that technology is disrupting major sectors and connecting billions of people through mobile. European tech is doing well with many unicorns and IPOs. However, developed economies face challenges around job disruption and slowing GDP growth. Youth are worried about their future prospects. While large companies spend over $1 trillion annually on IT, technology is not transforming them fast enough. The document advocates learning from startup successes and embracing entrepreneurship to drive innovation and job growth.
This document provides an overview of technology trends and startup activity globally. It notes that technology is disrupting major sectors and connecting billions of people through mobile. European tech is doing well with many unicorns and IPOs. However, developed economies face challenges around job disruption and worries about the future. Education is not preparing people for the new digital world. Large companies are slow to change but startups are creating significant value in short periods. The document encourages learning by doing entrepreneurship which is becoming more mainstream.
1. The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem in the UK, noting that the UK is a good place to develop connected products.
2. It provides information about resources and communities for IoT startups in various UK cities, and shares results from an IoT survey that found most companies are self-funded and small with less than 5 employees.

The defining asset of every leading technology company is talent. At Balderton, our job is to provide capital to support European technology companies to attract and retain world leading talent and get the best out of them. As a result, we’re fortunate to have learnt a lot about what it takes to identify, attract and retain people from the teams we work with.
In this report, we’ve set out to identify where people working in European technology companies come from, what experience they have, and what they expect in their roles. We did this by profiling almost 15,000 employees in over 1,000 venture-backed companies in Europe, and by working closely with a select group of recently backed start-ups.
This document summarizes key findings from a Tech Nation report on the state of the UK's digital economy. It finds that the digital tech sector grew 30% between 2013-2015 and is now worth £170 billion annually. The sector employs over 1.5 million people across the UK and accounts for 60% of the country's productivity growth. London is highlighted as the top destination for tech investment and talent in Europe, attracting over £13 billion in funding since 2011. However, digital tech jobs and businesses are growing across all UK regions, demonstrating nationwide sector expansion. The report identifies opportunities to further support the sector through improving access to skills, finance, infrastructure and promoting gender diversity.
Ireland has a lot of unfair advantages. As the only English speaking country in the European union (post-Brexit), widely considered one of the best countries for business in the world, its no surprise that world leading technology companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon have tens of thousands of employees in Ireland.
In our 4th instalment of Startups and Venture Capital in … (Germany, The Nordics, & the UK) we take on the emerald isle. With Irish born world beating enterprise startups such as Intercom ($115m in funds raised), Fleetmatics (acquired for $2.4b) and Cartrawler (acquired for $500m) it is no longer a question of if great tech co’s are born in Ireland — but rather how big and fast can they grow.
It may surprise you to learn:
Ireland has engineering talent that rivals major European tech hubs, with 55k engineers in Dublin vs 61k in Stockholm or 81k in Berlin. Paypal, LinkedIn & AirBnB are just a few companies that count more employees in Dublin than in London.
US companies setting up offices in Europe are landing in Ireland earlier than ever before. Companies like Asana and Wrike are two recent examples of Series B-C startups setting up shop in Dublin.
A small domestic market means Irish tech co’s are largely selling into markets in the US or elsewhere. Companies like Intercom, Fenergo and Swrve count the USA as their largest market.
Trinity and University College Dublin (UCD) are among the highest ranking universities for venture capital backed entrepreneurs in Europe!
Frontline Ventures is a B2B Seed VC.
1) The UK fintech market is large and growing, with total UK financial services generating over £200B annually and only 3% currently from fintechs.
2) The UK has a highly evolved fintech ecosystem supported by government initiatives, talent, funding, and a combination of digital innovation and financial expertise.
3) Areas of growth for fintech include insurtech, wealthtech, and B2B fintech as business users demand more consumer-like experiences from financial software providers.
1) The global internet audience is growing rapidly, with 84% of users located outside of traditional Western markets like the UK and US.
2) While the UK tech sector is doing well, it needs to look outward and promote more diversity to further growth, as new markets like China, India, and Nigeria represent major opportunities.
3) The UK is well-positioned for tech success due to factors like open data, coding in schools, and a digital government, but its mindset needs to embrace global opportunities beyond traditional areas of focus.
1. The majority of internet users are now located in China and India, which together account for 32% of global internet users, compared to only 14% in the US and Europe.
2. Mobile internet is already the dominant form of internet access in the majority world, in contrast to more traditional views that it is the future in Western countries.
3. Major demographic and economic shifts are occurring as populations in Africa and parts of Asia are growing rapidly while youth unemployment remains high, yet technology companies have significant financial resources and are defining new models of work.
Barclays HyperConnected World ConferenceLocalglobe
The document discusses how the internet is changing everything through its growing role in economies and societies. It notes that the internet's share of GDP is larger than health or education. Key ways the internet is changing include how people experience culture and social life, how they work, and politics. The rise of mobile internet accelerates these changes. The document also discusses the business model of "freemium" and how innovation on the internet can rapidly create enormous value. It questions whether large companies and investors are adequately preparing for and adapting to these internet-driven changes.
This document discusses the opportunities for European tech startups in a rapidly changing global landscape. It notes that the internet is growing enormously and will soon connect over 5 billion people, with most of the growth coming from China and India. However, Europe risks falling behind if it does not do more to support startups and diversity. Specifically, Europe needs more "zebras" - innovative companies with potential for exponential growth, rather than just "elephants" - long established companies. With the right mindset and policies, Europe could position itself as the best place for ambitious startups to thrive on a global scale.
- Less than 10% of business ideas are started, and over half of venture capital investments are written off, yet the businesses that receive funding account for a large percentage of GDP and job growth.
- There is a huge amount of capital available globally but it is often not allocated to more innovative, risky ideas due to a focus on low loss ratios.
- While extreme risk (62% write-off rate for venture capital) may not be for everyone, embracing more risk could unlock greater rewards and there is a large area of risk between the 2% tolerated by banks and 62% level of venture capital where more capital could be invested.
The document discusses how the internet has changed and will continue to change many aspects of our lives and society. It notes that the internet started changing how we tell stories, sell things, work, raise money, listen to music, play games, view advertising, travel, and more. It also suggests that new technologies will change education, healthcare, manufacturing, financing, food production, and how we connect with each other. The document advocates focusing on developing core technology hubs to continue driving positive change.
Telling Great Stories & Learning to ListenLocalglobe
The document discusses the importance of storytelling and listening. It states that people enjoy stories that are simply told, even if they take a long time to create. Great storytellers know their audience well and understand their perspective. Stories should live throughout a product and business, making the value clear and benefits easily understandable. Data can be used to tell personalized and social stories that are relevant to the audience and medium.
This document discusses Saul Klein's experiences in the internet industry from 1993 to the present. It touches on key periods and developments including the early struggles to establish online media in the 1990s, the dot-com boom and bust, the rise of broadband and mobile internet access, and the growth of e-commerce, social media, and cloud computing. The document emphasizes the challenges of starting new businesses and advises a focus on customers, conversations, convenience, costs, and competition rather than competitors.
This document discusses the strengths of European startups, including technical talent, low startup costs, and mainstream open source platforms. It notes strong local networks in various European cities connected to a federated ecosystem. It highlights several European entrepreneurs who have changed different industries like telecoms, enterprise software, web programming, shopping, music, games, fashion, personal finance, internet security, and the real-time web. The document advocates thinking big and different with support from sophisticated risk capital and bootstrapped role models.
Some thoughts on the European Venture sceneLocalglobe
The document discusses the state of the European venture scene in light of economic downturns. It notes that startups face challenges with no customers, money, or paying jobs, but that some major companies started during recessions. While sectors like social media have grown, recessions will likely continue. However, the internet is no longer just in the US, and there is still capital available in Europe for entrepreneurs who understand the new business environment. It provides advice to startups to focus on customers, cut costs, bootstrap, and don't panic.
The document summarizes Saul Klein's experiences over the last 14 years working in various roles across different stages of internet companies in industries like publishing, entertainment, marketing, technology, retail, and non-profits. It discusses some of the major trends he witnessed like the rise of the internet, the dot-com bubble bursting, the adoption of broadband, and the globalization and localization of the internet. It also provides advice for entrepreneurs around focusing on customers, encouraging conversations, offering convenience while managing costs, and learning from failures.
Why Europe needs to seed the growth of its new stars?Localglobe
This document discusses the growth of technology startups in Europe and argues that Europe is well positioned for success in this area. It notes that Silicon Valley has created over $500 billion in wealth from just a few highly successful companies. However, Europe has many of the same advantages, including talented entrepreneurs, experienced investors, advanced infrastructure like broadband, and a track record of successful global brands and technologies. The document encourages European entrepreneurs to take risks by starting new companies, noting that failure can provide valuable learning experiences, and that Europe has strong potential to build its own startup stars.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
