Our final get together of 2025 began at .london with the most fabulous gluten free croissants for Bella’s breakfast (she hadn’t eaten a decent croissant for four years so was extremely happy!), then onto for some strategy and planning for our next product launch. We can’t tell you anything yet, but we’ve designed something we think will continue to push the boundaries of collaborative finance.

Dmitriy was robbed of demonstrating his ice skating prowess from his days of playing ice hockey in the USA due to the rink timing not aligning with our own, but we got to wander round the stalls and soak up the Christmas spirit at Battersea.

The rest of the day was all about eating with lunch at and dinner at so suffice to say we all felt a bit full by the end of the day.

Here’s to wrapping up an impactful 2025 with the Dream Squad.

Can anyone beat our amazing Co-Founder, Lucy’s, step count at Money20/20 this week? This was her day yesterday - 26,000 steps at one of the world’s largest Fintech expos is very good going! She’s had some amazing conversations with some really exciting new prospects and we can’t wait to see where Circles will be popping up next…

Being featured in Oxford Saïd’s Inspiring Female Founders series gave our Co-Founder and COO, Lucy Mullins, the chance to tell our story about how we built a Digital Savings Circles business in the UK.

She talks about what it’s like to build something ambitious and inclusive. Of raising investment and scaling a fintech product rooted in community, trust, and deep conviction that it was something needed.

This case study explores the wins, the setbacks, and the lessons we wanted to share with anyone trying to build something that matters.
