"The poverty premium is real. Lower income workers can often pay more than everyone else, despite struggling to make ends meet. At Wagestream we give people access to their earned income when they need it, without the need for employers to alter their usual payroll frequency." Peter Briffett wants to re-establish the link between work and financial reward, a link often broken in monthly pay cycles. Launching fintech startup Wagestream with 25 employers, he believes that this can have a significant impact on people’s behaviour with companies already reporting increases in employee retention, productivity and job applications as a result of offering Wagestream as an employee benefit. Co-Founded by Portman Wills and Peter Briffett, former COO of YPlan and CEO of LivingSocial UK, the company raised over £4m in funding from the world’s leading technology and social impact investors. Backers include Village, a global VC backed by leading entrepreneurs, including Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, as well as QED Investors, the London Mayor’s Co-Investment Fund. The launch follows news last week that leading payday lender Wonga went into administration on Thursday, 30th August. I caught up with Peter to find out more. Let's StartUp!

Tips para conquistar Londres pueden haber muchos, dependiendo del interés de tu viaje. Puedes hacer un recorrido cultural a esta gran ciudad, o ir a sus pubs. Una de las ciudades más turísticas y digna de sacar muchas fotos en especial con su ícono el Big Ben.Londres, quizás mi ciudad favorita, es la más grande de Europa occidental y del Reino Unido. Con miles de años de historia, Londres es testigo de muchos acontecimientos. Para saber más de su historia, les recomiendo lean en la novela London de Edward Rutherfurd.tipsParaConquistarLondresDecía Samuel Johnson que el hombre que se cansa de Londres, es un hombre que se cansa de la vida. Una ciudad con origen Celta, conquistada por Romanos, invadida por vikingos. Ha sobrevivido fuego, plagas, de todo, y continúa siendo uno de los lugares más importantes del planeta y es la segunda ciudad con mayor migración después de NYC.¿A dónde ir?Hay muchas cosas para hacer en Londres, si quieren salir de lo típico de listados de lugares turísticos, chequen la app de National Trust. En cuestión de eventos, recordemos que Londres es una megaciudad AAA, con miles de cosas para realizar, pero no se preocupen, porque hay una app llamada YPlan que te filtra por precio y tipo de lugar y evento para hacer algo más movido y diferente.¿Cómo moverme?La verdad es que en Londres, si es su primera vez, el transporte público puede ser confuso, por eso en lugar de google maps bajen Citymapper q te indica más claro cómo llegar a un lugar según el transporte, que de hecho si quieren rentar bicis también está la app de Santander Cycles. Por cierto, los blackcabs son caros aunque igual es bueno tomar uno para conocer la experiencia. Sin embargo, recomiendo que usen Uber o Kabbee y recomienden a su acompañante, y ambos tendrán crédito gratis. Si están caminando y quieren saber qué pasó en su ubicación, bajen VoiceMap y los London Audio Walking Tours que te dice la historia de acuerdo a tu ubicación de gps. Es de android. Si les gusta correr, hay una app especial para Londres que se llama Zombies Run y te “premia” por correr como si estuvieras escapando de los zombies.+info http://8ymedia.com/pakbak/tips-viajar-conquistar-londres/6406
