Money is weird. It’s simple in theory and complicated in practice. The founders in this section are building companies that help people and businesses make sense of it. From fintech platforms to financial advisory firms to investment tools, they’re tackling one of the most fundamental problems in business and life.
These interviews cover the full financial landscape. Personal finance. Corporate finance. Lending. Payments. Insurance. Wealth management. Cryptocurrency before it was cool, during the hype, and after the crash. The founders here have seen cycles.
What makes these conversations valuable is the honesty. Finance has a reputation for jargon and gatekeeping. The people featured here cut through that. They talk about building trust in an industry where trust is everything. About regulation, which in finance is not optional. About the challenge of making financial tools accessible to people who aren’t finance professionals.
You’ll find insights on building fintech products, navigating compliance, fundraising in financial services, and the particular challenge of disrupting industries that really don’t want to be disrupted. Whether you’re building in finance or just trying to understand it better, these founders have perspective worth hearing.
