StrictlyVC Returns to London with a Notable Speaker Lineup

StrictlyVC, a distinguished event series backed by TechCrunch, is preparing to host another evening event in London on May 13. The brand is recognized for its intimate gatherings, bringing prominent figures together with live audiences.

Monzo Bank CEO to Take the Stage

TS Anil, the Chief Executive Officer of Monzo Bank, will be a featured speaker. Monzo Bank has significantly impacted the U.K.’s financial sector as a leading digital banking institution.

Anil’s leadership experience and his position at a major European fintech company provide him with a distinctive viewpoint on the evolution of finance, the importance of trust, and advancements in digital technology.

Potential U.S. Stock Market Considerations

A key point of interest surrounds Anil’s potential plans regarding a U.S. stock market listing for Monzo. This could have implications for the London Stock Exchange.

Conversely, recent uncertainties related to U.S. tariffs might make Monzo’s current location a more appealing option.

Venture Capital Expertise Represented

Alongside Anil, two highly respected venture capitalists will participate: Sonali De Rycker from Accel, a London-based firm with a history of successful tech investments, and Nazo Moosa of Paladin Capital Group.

Moosa, who previously established The Carlyle Group’s European Technology Fund, has been involved with Paladin Capital Group since 2017 and now serves as a Managing Director and member of its executive committee.

Additional Speakers to Be Announced

Further speaker announcements are forthcoming. Updates will be posted on the StrictlyVC London page.

An Interactive Event Format

The StrictlyVC series differs from large-scale conferences by fostering direct interaction between attendees and speakers. These events prioritize genuine dialogue.

Rather than traditional panels, these sessions are designed to be interactive and encourage curiosity, allowing attendees to pose questions and gain unfiltered insights.

Past Speakers Include Tech Leaders

Recent speakers at StrictlyVC events have included Jay Graber, CEO of Bluesky; Lina Khan, former FTC Chair; Tekedra Mawakana, Co-CEO of Waymo; Daniel Lurie, San Francisco Mayor; and Trae Stephens, partner at Founders Fund and co-founder of Anduril.

Other notable participants have been Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI; Alfred Lin of Sequoia Capital; Ryan Petersen, CEO of Flexport; and Kirsten Green, founder of Forerunner Ventures.

A Must-Attend Event for Industry Professionals

This StrictlyVC evening in London is an essential event for startup founders, venture capitalists, institutional investors, and anyone interested in the latest tech trends.

The event promises a candid discussion on leadership, innovation, and the challenges of building the next generation of technology.
