The new Global Fintech Startup Ecosystem Report

Genome’s Global Startup Ecosystem Report. Top 3 leading by performance, funding and talent?

Silicon Valley

New York

London

London claims the third spot 

London and Paris are the only two European fintech ecosystems that made it into the top 10, with London claiming the third spot. Whereas, the US has Silicon Valley, New York City, Boston, & Chicago in the top 10. 

Talking about how Europe can create more thriving fintech hubs like London & Paris, Ghei says, “This is a little bit a function of where the capital is. NYC, Boston have multiple local funds that have LPs in local university endowments etc. Europe, in that sense, is rather concentrated on sovereign funds and as a result, these 2 cities have born the fruit of sustained investment.”

“In the next 5 years, I see capital allocations changing geographically in Europe, particularly in Central Eastern Europe where the next fintech hub is likely to emerge,” he adds. 

Additionally, it is the first instalment of the annual sub-sector report series, and this one ranks in the global top 20, and runner-up, Fintech startup ecosystems. These ecosystems are evaluated on five Success Factors, including Performance, Talent, Funding, Focus and Legacy. The top five Fintech startup ecosystems globally in 2020 are Silicon Valley, New York City, London, Singapore and Beijing, respectively.

Digital marketing jobs are not an obscure marketing category any more

So I have been looking into digital marketing positions (mostly those posted on Linkedin) and have noticed that even though there are plenty of positions available, about 90% of them require candidates to have tons of experience, knowledge, passion etc etc while also designating the position as ENTRY LEVEL.The absurdity of this is obvious – most of the recruiters are still rocking that same old mindset “Let’s hire some students to intern for us and we’ll pay them in RedBull”.But laws of supply and demand are changing this trend to the advantage of job seekers.The position title below is Digital Marketing and Social Media Specialist.
