Building in Fintech: From Product to First Customers
Fintech founders have to get product, compliance and trust right at the same time, often before landing a single customer. This panel brings together founders and early-stage investors who have done it.
We’ll get into:
Building a product that meets regulatory requirements without stalling
Earning trust from banks, partners and first customers
What investors look for in early fintech companies
