Ep 10471047. Insights: Can you launch a start-up in 2026? Live from J.P. Morgan Payments

About this episode: Recorded live from J.P. Morgan’s e-commerce and fintech forum, 11:FS CEO David M. Brear is joined by an all-star panel to tackle a deceptively simple question: can you still launch a startup in 2026? With AI reshaping how companies are built, capital becoming more disciplined, and geopolitics influencing everything from regulation to expansion, the old startup playbook is being rewritten in real time. We explore what founders should prioritise from day one, whether starting narrow still works in a platform-dominated world, and how AI is redefining team size, speed, and scale. The panel also dives into what “winning” really looks like in 2026 - from sustainability and defensibility to trust and operational leverage.

Ep 10451045. Insights: Has the banking battlefield evolved - and is Revolut built for it?

About this episode: For years, banking has been framed as a battlefield: incumbents defending their turf while fintech challengers attack with better tech and customer experience. But in 2026, that picture may have changed. Ross Gallagher and David M. Brear (11:FS) are joined by Richard Davies (Allica Bank) and Sophie Guibaud (Building Alpha) to explore how the banking battlefield has evolved - and whether it has gone three-dimensional. From challenger bank profitability (Monzo, Starling, Revolut) to embedded finance, Big Tech and infrastructure platforms, the panel asks where power in banking really sits today - and what the next structural shift might be.
