Once the app rolls out and a year goes by, I reckon Freetrade will top this list: Startups 100 2018: UK's hottest start-ups in one definitive index
No.1 2018 is Bulb💡: 1. Bulb - Startups 100 2018 | Startups.co.uk
Freetrade featured on the site last year: https://startups.co.uk/freetrade-clinches-1-1m-on-crowdcube/
Is this something on Freetrade’s radar @Viktor what does the community think about such accolades and what are your predictions?

I wonder what the team would like to be featured on? There were a lot of Fintech faces on the Forbes 30 under 30 this year, for example

Good shout… although I’m going to refrain from speculating the age of the team members & who may, or may not, qualify as under
Edit: @tommy this UK Fintech 35 under 35 is stacked: UK Fintech 35 Under 35: Top Young Entrepreneurs, Engineers, and Marketers

We won’t fight it if they want to put us in there!
We’ve had a fair bit of recognition e.g.: https://twitter.com/freetrade/status/968799904595431424
But we are not focused on getting accolades , we are focused on making progress.

I was expecting this response from you having read your marketing medium post and enjoyed the read too.
However, accolades can be a by-product and indicator of such progress right?
I am not a fan of accolades that can easily be gamed by companies that just get all their customers to vote, but it can’t be ignored that they’re good for brand awareness/reputation…

Thanks for reading my post . Man, were a couple of other fintech people upset.
There are a lot more marketing posts coming up, e.g. I’m writing about the ‘know, like, trust’ funnel and how it contributes to building a strong brand.
I hope you’ll find it interesting.

Ruffling a few feathers is part and parcel of being a disruptor , so more power to you
