Why Fintech?
For me, fintech is everything that touches on the exchange of value. Both exchange and value (however we define them) are universal concepts across the consumer pyramid and geographies. It’s hard to find anything in fintech that isn’t large and impactful right from the get go. Sometimes it can be the simplest product unlock that leads to massive value, while sometimes it takes the most complex platform shift to make progress. Playing in the fintech arena allows me to support, learn, and partake in both!
