On 17 & 18 July 2019, some of the most promising startups from around the world gathered in Central London and competed in the Unbound London FinTech Startup Battle. We attended the aforementioned innovation festival to spread the word about how StepLadder could help first time buyers buy their home faster, and were excited to be surrounded by so many great people.  And then our Co-founder, Lucy Mullins, went ahead and won the two major startup competitions of the day - Future of Finance Award and Female Founder. We couldn't be more proud.  ![WhatsApp Image 2019-07-17 at 18.12.24](https://blog.joinstepladder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/WhatsApp%20Image%202019-07-17%20at%2018.12.24.jpeg?width=300&name=WhatsApp%20Image%202019-07-17%20at%2018.12.24.jpeg)Lucy says ''It was such an honour to be pitching alongside so many incredible founders and innovative brands.
