When working as a technology consultant for nonprofits, he witnessed their struggles firsthand. His vision was to automate the fundraising process to make it easier and less awkward for nonprofits to receive donations.

Transacting business got easier, although at a high cost to individuals. This is where Troperial says 'I'm here to help'. Troperial was created to reduce high transaction costs and to provide a personal trading experience. Troperial offers an ever-evolving payment experience designed to foster quicker and fairer ways to exchange currencies. And the best part is, it's all at your prefered rate.


Olu was an international student abroad when he sold his car in Nigeria. But accessing the money from the sale proved to be a major pain. First, there was a daily limit for his ATM transactions; second, a high transaction fee for each one. To access the money, Olu had to go to the ATM about 10 times and pay transaction fees each time. Out of his experience, he found a way to exchange currencies at a lower rate by eliminating the middleman. Instead, Troperial facilitates trading directly with other people looking to exchange the same currency, and negotiating your own rate. You choose what currency you'd like to exchange. Troperial matches you with a trusted trader. You negotiate the exchange rate and trade.

Real Estate credit opportunities can be very lucrative, but are usually restricted to few market participants. Constitution Lending was founded by a team and advisors with Wall Street experience and a track record of generating returns across asset classes. Their vision is to  introduce sophisticated techniques to an unsophisticated market. Hear from Constitution CEO Ricardo Sims what drove the team to start the company, the challenges they had to go through, and how they succeeded. 

 

Constitution was built for accredited investors who want to participate in a high yielding safe asset class previously only available to hedge funds and other institutional investors. Constitution is for borrowers that are tired of dealing with answering 500 questions from lenders just to have them delay closing because they decided that they needed to ask you another 500 questions before they give you a loan. Constitution’s loan application process is simple and straightforward. An average loan takes only 12-15 days to close.

However, access to the world of crypto currencies was difficult and limited. Intuitively understanding the vast potential of blockchain technology if only more people had access to it, Justin knew what to do. He set out to build a simple, streamlined app; an on-ramp so that creative minds could engage and take blockchain to the next level. But first, he had to find a bank and a payment processor that wouldn’t hang up after he said the word ‘crypto’. It was a toxic term in the banking world, saddled with a lot of hype and misinformation. Hear from Justin about the big initial hurdles, how he overcame those and iterated on his idea until it became what Sequoir is today: A fully regulated and FinCEN compliant US-based digital asset trading platform for buying, selling and swapping digital assets.

Yes, there are Zillow and others who brought some of the steps online, but the larger part hasn't changed from whenever. It still requires going to notaries, fingerprinting, rubberstamps, signature after signature after signature after signature - and takes a very long time to complete. Hence his desire was born to bring the entire real estate translation online. Listen as Frederico shares ideas for how to get funding for your startup, how to finalize your business plan and design, and where to attack a multi-billion real estate industry that is highly averse to change. His vision was simple, closing real estate transactions in minutes instead of 2-4 weeks. Implementing it wasn’t. Learn from Frederico how to overcome adversity and get your company off the ground.

At one point he had an epiphany. Rather than selling a SaaS product, why not find a way to monetize the payments flow between brands, agencies and publishers/platforms? Third-party credit cards being utilized were offering rewards that offered no or little value. Not a big leap for a fintech guy but as he realized, out of reach for many non-fintech businesses who just don’t think that way. Hear how he started a business around co-branded cards as a service in partnership with Sila and Lithic. Listen to his views on fundraising and Venture Capital, on when is the right time to focus on unit economics and when is the wrong time to do so. Finally, why is it so important to launch as quickly as possible and how a global pandemic helped him with that.

They loved what they did but hated cash flow issues driven by the particulars of the construction business. They literally carried multiple checkbooks and debit cards for their various projects. Managing funds creep, chasing money, paying others and getting paid was a huge headache. Every Friday! Finally, the two friends sat down and wrote it all up in flash cards. Every step, every item, every participant - from the investor down to the laborer. They took those 300+ pages to a software developer who built an app that is in the process of revolutionizing payment flows in the construction industry. It’s a fascinating story about how two general contractors with little technology and no fintech experience — with the help of the right partners — created an app that among other things now helps laborers who may not have a banking relationship bank. If you envision the future differently and want to build something that makes it real, this is an episode you cannot miss.

If that’s not enough, they both are pilots and launched Qyon Aero Sports, Brazil’s first air sports team. They are now taking a page out of Red Bull’s marketing book in using performances at air shows to promote their brand. A serial entrepreneur, Samuel had no problem attracting investors, rather the opposite. His challenge was to keep them interested until the time the company and its products were ready for outside money. Hear about the challenges stemming from their strategy to grow the company through a string of acquisitions. How to find out whether someone and their business is a good fit, and how important it is to cut the connections very quickly if it isn’t. Why learning and listening is central to how they approach everything. And, about the importance of AI to their business success, and the limitations of this technology.

Now an adult, realizing that online fundraising could be made better, he founded bunny.money, the better way for nonprofits to raise money in that it lets them keep 100% of their donations. Unfortunately, it’s common for nonprofits to have to pay between 3 and 11% in processing fees to get access to what is theirs. Listen to this podcast to hear Fabien share his inspiration and his vision for what is called the “save for good®” approach; and how bunny.money operates like a modern piggy bank for giving. You’ll also learn about the difference between a “piggy bank'' and a “bunny bank”, and why becoming a Certified Benefit Corporation (B Corp) was an important step for bunny.money.

If you live and work in one country but your family resides in another, sending money is how you stay in touch and support them. Sending money is expensive, so you do it in a lump sum once a month. Transfer fees are high. You have no control over how the money is spent. Loved ones might have to travel somewhere to even receive it. OKYapp changes all that. You pick a brand from the website (from pharmacies to fast food restaurants), prepay an amount, and your loved ones get an SMS with which they can pay locally.

David Wolfenden, Founder & CEO


David was always perplexed by the fact that most of his peers could talk for hours about video games and get really excited in the process, but showed no interest in discussing investment strategies and wealth building. Even though the latter will have an oversized impact on their lives. So he had the idea to make wealth planning fun and addictive by creating a game around it with digital representations that would grow as your investments grow. It wasn’t an easy road but clearly something David has been enjoying tremendously. His biggest advice: The world around you was built by other people. If you want to build something, build it. But there is much more to learn from his quest. Listen, learn, and be entertained.

Patrick Salome, co-Founder & CEO


Patrick always thought that e-commerce doesn’t live up to its potential because of a lack of trust about who’s on the other side of the deal. He had started his own companies but finally saw an opportunity to realize his vision through a merger with another firm; negotiating, collaborating, merging, and launching during a worldwide pandemic. And, doing this in a heavily regulated industry like the chemical industry, while attempting something that hadn’t been done before.  Hear from him about his journey, which as he describes it, “was ugly” at times. How “being impatient and doing everything at once” can turn out to be the biggest pitfall. How to deal with mistakes. How necessary it is to be open minded, even as you are sticking to your core values and following your vision as closely as possible.

Billy Roberts, co-Founder & CEO

 

When the two co-founders had the idea for what would eventually become Wedge.us, they were convinced a Google search would tell them of other companies already doing it. It took a while to sink in that their idea was a novel one. Hear how they built their business out of a garage of all places. Why their first hire was a chief legal officer. And how they were driven by their belief that the future is digital, and that users want flexibility, seamlessness, frictionless and intuitive design. That when it comes to hiring a team, it is wrong to compromise on personality and values, even if the professional skills are a great fit.

Bo started Lithic with 2 childhood friends in a basement. Hear how the pandemic came just as they were scaling from 25 up to 100 people.

He talks about his conviction that if you take something that is really complex and make it available to developers, you can’t imagine what they will come up with down the road. His advice to budding entrepreneurs is that all advice is situational. He found that the most helpful advisors and investors for your business are those that are 2-3 steps ahead of you in their journey. Find out what he loves about fintech and what he says it is that makes our industry unique. And why it is important to learn and understand the language banks use when discussing fintech.

getBamboo’s mission is to make crypto investing as easy as possible by using round-ups to the next dollar to feed your crypto portfolio (“micro investing”). They are a successful business in Australia, about to launch in the US. Hear from Blake Cassidy about how different the regulatory environment is in these two countries and how they learned to deal with that. Why perseverance is key and really the only thing that keeps you from failing. Why Ether and Bitcoin could serve as a hedge against other investments more subject to inflationary pressures. Blake shares how after university, when he didn’t want to work in a company and follow existing structures and hierarchies, fintech was an awesome place to be and to make your own rules. Why he says sitting on the fence doesn't do any good. Rather, making mistakes, making them quickly, and learning from them is the far better strategy.

Katrin Kaurov, CEO and co-founder

Aleksandra Medina, CPO and co-founder

 

Best friends Katrin Kaurov and Aleksandra Medina are the two founders of FRICH, an app with the stated goal of making money social. As young professionals, they struggled with learning how to deal with money and hated the awkwardness that comes with how people talk about finances. Since there was no personal finance app available they liked, they started FRICH. Not unlike fitness apps, FRICH users rely on the accountability towards friends, and the commitment to shared goals, to reach their stated financial goals - often in the form of a playful and fun contest. FRICH is how GenZ likes to save money. Learn why FRICH succeeded where others failed; how the founders turned a disadvantage (not knowing anything about finances) into a competitive advantage. And, how ‘resourcefulness’ is one of the most important traits of an entrepreneur.
