Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
The rise of companies like Revolut, Monzo, and Starling, disrupted the consumer banking space, making it a particularly competitive market. As a result, incumbent banks have had a lot of catching up to do to compete with challenger banks for customers, and this is what 11:FS is capitalising on.
One of 11:FS's products, 11:FS Foundry, helps businesses build and launch new financial services propositions. Using 11:FS Foundry, traditional banks, neobanks, and non-banks can scale their fintech offerings at speed. Hosted on Google Cloud’s platform, it enables significantly increased uptime, global reach, and strong security and encryption. The company's other products include 11:FS Pulse, Shop, and YEARS.
11:FS's founding team has significant digital banking experience, including the co-founder of both Starling and Monzo, as well as people who have worked on innovative projects at big banks like Barclays. With a growing list of partners, the company is well-placed to give great advice to banks, whether they're incumbent players or challenger banks, powering the future of embedded finance.

Diversity & Inclusion at 11:FS
Katie Moorcroft (Senior Talent Partner)
- Our clients, and the customers we serve come from all walks of life and so should we. We’re passionate about hiring amazing talented people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because we believe we have an important role to play in shaping the future of our industry.
- We firmly believe that a diverse team, where perspectives are valued, leads to richer experiences for our Elevens and better outcomes for our clients and us. We recognise that diverse companies are more innovative and to unleash talent, we must create an environment where our Elevens feel safe, welcome, supported, and valued.
- Diversity really is a team sport here at 11:FS and the journey we are on is a shared experience that is at the core of everything we do. We are not to not only be part of this change from an internal perspective because it benefits us as a business but because it's the right thing to do. We are committed to becoming a leader in championing equality and diversity and making an impact in grassroots issues where possible.
- We’ve looked at the 1% changes, both the processes and behaviours we can be making throughout the employee life cycle to drive greater inclusion and diversity. Although a 1% change may not sound significant, it’s the combination of all of these 1% changes which ultimately create a lasting impact on our mission.
