Mangnall is a family man at heart : he has young children and a partner whom he adores . As many founders will attest , having the right support network – including loving family around you – is vital to relieving the stresses of building a business from scratch .

I love the rate of change within technology , specifically fintech . No one person can ever know all there is to know and nothing ever stands still .
I ’ m inspired by the calibre of people , the bright minds that forge the future of different industries . Be it software innovation in payments , advancements in healthtech , or disruption in proptech . It ’ s so clear to me that technology drives so many verticals forward . It ’ s the people that build things that have never been built before , that does genuine good or makes actual change that inspires me to go a little further , every day . fintechmagazine . com 19
