eToro meets David Cameron, the British Prime Minister via Future Fifty

We recently were accepted into the Future Fifty programme- a UK governmental programme designed to accelerate a select group of high-growth stage tech. The formal event took place together with the Tech City 3rd anniversary.

We were welcomed in ceremonial fashion by being invited to open the world’s financial markets at the London Stock Exchange along with other entrepreneurs from the other chosen companies such as Zoppa, Shazam, Hailo, Swiftkey to mention a few of some of the great founders I met.  Joanna Shields of Tech City and Xavier Rolet CEO of the London Stock Exchange hosted the event. The day got even better after Hailo cabs took us to the Tech City offices, where I had the opportunity to personally meet and shake hands with the British Prime Minister, David Cameron. He definitely liked the eToro t-shirt I was wearing, I should have brought him one 🙂
