LTC Breakfast with Unicorns

Another fantastic ‘Breakfast with Unicorns’: our popular annual roundtable series with top UK-based managers of tech Unicorns.

 

A special thank you to our keynote speaker Martin Gilbert - Chairman of Revolut (one of UK’s biggest fintech unicorns) and co-founder of Aberdeen Asset Management, which he successfully led for over 30 years.

 

Looking ahead to 2026, discussions highlighted robotics and biotech as leading sectors for innovation and investment; strong momentum in space tech with SpaceX's anticipated mega-IPO; LSEG's optimism for listings after 2025 reforms streamlining AIM and Main Market access; and the appeal of secondaries amid liquidity constraints.
