Intraday FX swaps could signal a new dawn for liquidity management 🚀 “If you imagine the world where everything was on DLT and PvP, and when you did a trade you agreed to the time of settlement, you would then be able to manage your liquidity in an amazingly different way” Jo Marshall of Deutsche Bank. Banks don’t need to imagine – Finteum is supporting banks now to unlock the value from new intraday markets using DLT, with the additional benefits of PvP settlement expected soon. We expect these markets to grow quickly in 2025 and beyond. Thanks to Risk.net FX Markets and Cole Lipsky for mentioning Finteum in this fantastic feature (link below, paywalled), with validation on the value of this new market from Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, HSBC, UBS and others. #liquiditymanagement #fx #treasury https://lnkd.in/e47qA6gc

Fundraising for startups: VCs, Angels, CVCs, and grants. What can you expect, what should you look out for, and how are they linked to Larkin and Ribena? I’ve just come back from Denmark. I attended an “unconference” in Brydegård, along with a handful of robotics startup founders, some angel investors, representatives from the Odense municipality, some CVCs, and two other venture capitalists. The group therapy was as informative as it was cathartic, so I thought I’d write up some of the key takeaways. I’ve unpacked the good, the bad, and the ugly about VCs, angel investors, CVCs, and grant funding, explaining how we all think and how to navigate our expectations. I hope to persuade you to protect your cap table with your life. https://lnkd.in/ecrVp2yd #vc #startup #fundraising

We’ve explored how Federated Learning is transforming large-scale industries. Now, here’s the 101 for those just getting started: https://lnkd.in/egNWantx

In composite mould tool production, large format additive manufacturing has shown impressive potential by driving cost efficiency and reducing lead times. However, its adoption for #aerospace grade composite tools has been limited due to challenges with thermal expansion in autoclave environments. To address this, we developed a solution in Aibuild software as part of our ZETTAS (Zero Expansion Thermoplastic Tooling at Scale) project, in collaboration with National Composites Centre and with support from Aerospace Technology Institute, NATEP - National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme . This advanced software feature allows aerospace-grade composite tools to be manufactured using LFAM with layers conformal to the surface across all regions, enabling a single expansion factor to be applied - eliminating one of the key blockers for aerospace applications. As a result, Aibuild software maintains the high part performance required while achieving up to 80% reduction in CAM and toolpath preparation time. This cuts production costs and accelerates time-to-market, thanks to a fully streamlined production process that significantly enhances both time and resource efficiency.

I’m at #TechBBQ in Copenhagen. A startup event for investors and founders. What’s happening, and why am I here? My partner is Danish, one of my God kids is, I love it here. The startup scene is small but vibrant with connective tissue from all around the Scandi’s, not ignoring Finland. The people here are irritatingly smart, healthy and attractive. Denmark is consistently in the top 3 happiest countries lists. It works. Trustpilot, Unity, Zendesk, Pleo and Lunar started here, investment is growing at around 12% YoY, last year start-ups raised around €1.2bn, with weighty support from Govt backed funds. 30% of that going into the earliest stages with a focus on fintech, health/life tech, greentech and Ai. Yesterday was Investor Day where we VCs discussed being masters of the universe, and today I get to meet people who work for a living. If you’re here, please come and find me and say Hi. Especially if you’re building business software that will disrupt enterprise, manufacturing, supply, agri, health, energy, back office. I love messing with corporate qi. Put a steak on the barbie and let’s talk.

Can Generational Theory predict venture capital's future? This is a random thought experiment, a brain bonk, if you have the time to indulge it and me. I think we all have a sense that life is circular, ebbing and flowing short term, before coming around again - boom - like fashion, or nature, or my girlfriends. According to generational theory, historical events are associated with recurring generational personas. Where each persona unleashes a new era, a new mood, deriving patterned outcomes. And then again in totality every 80 years or so. I've used these frameworks to see if we can predict VC, or at least understand the energy behind the next wave of innovation. What kind of world do we want to build? If you've read this far I applaud you. Thank you. Let me know what you think.
