Off the top of my head; UK startups that have grown and been successful (although many have now been bought out - which I guess is the exit plan for many founders anyway)

Just Eat, Deliveroo and The Hut Group; Monzo, Starling and Revolut, from another era, there's ARM.

I'm sure there's fintech ones (not a sector I know much about) and the guy who sits near me in the office, who has an AI-healthcare startup, says the Britain is very good at those too.

The UK has an advantage here over the US in that the tech and finance sectors are both based in London whereas in the US they are split between California and New York.
