Startup valuations have been brought into stark focus in recent months, and the picture is bleak. The number of companies achieving unicorn status is slowing - in 2021 537 hit that milestone globally, but so far this year just 230 have done so as macroeconomic headwinds hit venture capital. While this might spark some concerns for the health of the global startup ecosystem, the silver lining is that it might just stop the obsession of many media outlets with covering only large funding rounds (because, presumably, a bigger number means a better business).

Funding is a crucial topic for many startups and can sometimes be the difference between success and failure. As a founder it will be an incredibly time consuming task - especially when you’re trying to juggle everything else that comes along with being a founder.

The UK is one of the world’s leading adopters of Open Banking solutions, and yet, some of the nation’s leading fintech experts openly criticise the technology as a flop.
