The start-up perspective

Hiroki Takeuchi, co-founder of UK FINTECH startups SEPA: "For me I think number one is free access to people."

Takeuchi expresses experience recently had to jump through hoops a potential employee to get a visa.

He told the story: "we have to go now and put the work on some stupid website where we wait apply 90 days for a series of slag and then we give a reason, why we have rejected every single person in this job center locations and then we make the offer, we do not make a formal offer before." It's a crazy, crazy system."

So, how he sees this change postal outlet? "Everybody talks about how it is binary," he says. "As you're not in London or in London. I think one of the things that might happen is, how growing companies are probably more distributed. "

Jeff Lynn, CEO of Crowdfunding startup Seedrs, had a different perspective." Talks about the difficulty, visas for prospective employees he says: "that fast and lean startups disproportionately hitting hard stuff. If a major Bank and you have an important function of HR and you are constantly undergo such processes and delays then alright.

"If you a business, its overall competitive advantage is based on able to move quickly and always the right talent and you wait six months for things to delete, then that's a real problem."

His solution draws from the Australian approach to immigration. "For me a very large part whether leakage is a significant problem arises in, whether it is a legitimate and useful points immigration system," Lynn said.

The VC perspective

Asked what FINTECH companies need most, Rob Moffat, partner at VC firm Balderton capital said: "I think the movement of talent." I agree with Hiroki point and maybe it will be not exactly the same as it is now."

Asked whether talent more important than capital said the VC: "Capital is much less important for the average early FINTECH."

When asked whether in FINTECH work too risky for top talent always, Moffat said: "FINTECH has become less risky. I have a few friends who work in it in investment banks and that's an ugly place, right now. That was always a complaint about London. That you hire good engineers salary could not, because the investment banks would offer them three times and that is becoming less and less the case."

Lynn added: "no one, because it sure which option was the big banks. "She left the big banks, because's soul crushing was and she wanted something more exciting and dynamic and that is not to change a bit."

The incubator perspective

Says Liz Lumley, managing director at the Startup Incubator Startupbootcamp bluntly: "Talent win and keep them on the land is an obstacle."

Access to financial services in the UK for migrant workers and how FINTECH startups could make this better talks. Lumley also passionate about the difficulty.

"last year my largest problem as MD of the Startupbootcamp got bank accounts for personal or business accounts for our partners. Lloyds Banking Group is one of our partners and she came yesterday to explain the whole procedure and they said, "We will go talk to our industry, so can you down". The branch? "This is still the world in which we live and FINTECH changes."

Conclusion

Summary of the event, Cameron Stevens, the founder of prodigy finance, a startup looking to financially for highest international students at universities around the world, said: "I think there is a consensus on the one hand, the talent of the key issue for people and to ensure that it is open and that's not change."

"when it comes and borders closes and decide after this exit, switch to open up this ability in a global pool of talent, I think that will start to see startups, Hiroki distributed team approach or make the more extreme version of thinking about greener pastures."
