Bloomberg Britain’s got talent? TransferWise CEO Kristo Kaarmann has Brexit-related worries in that area.Brexit worries have spurred pharmaceutical giants in the U.K. to stockpile drugs, and startups have their concerns as well. Britain’s plan to leave the European Union in March could bring about a talent shortage, according to Kristo Kaarmann, CEO of TransferWise, a London-based startup that offers money transfers. “There are still people coming here to work, from Europe, from outside of Europe, and I think that is the biggest threat — if that was to ever dry up,” he told MarketWatch in a recent interview. The company that he co-founded with fellow Estonian Taavet Hinrikus in 2011 has about 200 people in its London office, and at least 100 are from other EU countries, Kaarmann said. “If it became harder to find and hire these people, I think that would be an unnecessary tax for the startup scene generally — the tech scene generally, in London,” he said. It’s not clear what kind of trade arrangements the U.K. will end up with at the end of the Brexit process. That presents a challenge to the country’s financial-technology startups, such as TransferWise, which is one of Britain’s biggest with a “unicorn” valuation above $1 billion. Like other British companies, fintech firms are waiting for clarity on issues such as access to the EU’s single market.via
