When we were just chatting before, you said that being at Revolut is like founder mode on steroids, I think was your description. Why so?
I mean, we have a great team of founders that are heavily involved in the business, which really is giving the tempo, the momentum to the whole company with the exact same approach and the exact same mindset since day one. And I think that's quite remarkable, the consistency of the approach 10 years after launch, you know, still the same mindset and so on.

And I think that's extremely powerful. It's interesting beforehand you said the real question with founder mode is actually how long you can keep it up.

Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And saying how Nick's dedication today is just as much as it was when you joined. Absolutely. Is incredible. But I don't think people actually ask the question of the sustenance of the founder mode. Today we are building a growth engine with Revolut. I mean the numbers are just insane and it seems to be getting quicker. Yeah, it is. It is. It is. Can we just start there, actually?

I spoke to so many people, investors in the business, and they're like, Harry, it's meant to slow down. They're getting faster and better. How?

Yeah. I mean, the thing with what we build, we build an engine, which is a combination of many, many things, meaning there's no because you have two types of growth. You have the growth that are made of, let's say, launches, let's say, marketing campaigns and some coup, you know, like you make a big marketing coup, you know, and then you get the spike and so on. There's none of that at Revolut.

You're probably going to ask me, what is the one thing that really worked at Revolut? I can't tell you. It's a combination of so many things in the growth engine. And because they all add up, when you look at the growth of Revolut, it's just very steady. And it's steady and it's accelerating week after week. We just monitor every week.
