! Unfortunately, we had sound problems at the beginning of the presentation, so here is only a shortened version, but with Q&A at the end
Dr. Jörg Howein (Finoa) knows the challenges of FinTech growth first-hand – as employee no. 20 and later board member of Solaris, he experienced the development and scaling of a FinTech at first hand. It is important to reconcile innovation, regulation and pragmatism without losing sight of the big goal: sustainable growth.
In his presentation, Jörg provides valuable insights into the six key areas that are crucial to the success of a FinTech:
✅ People & Culture – The right team and a strong corporate culture
✅ Product & Technology – Innovation and scalability in the product area
✅ Finance – Financial management and capital procurement
✅ Sales & BizDev – Winning customers and building partnerships
✅ Risk & Compliance – Mastering regulatory challenges
✅ Operations & Customer Support – Efficient processes and first-class service
When investors think about investing in a start-up, they ask themselves one key question: does this company have the potential for sustainable success? In our video, Matthias Lais (neosfer) provides exclusive insights into the most important factors that really influence venture capitalists in their decision. He addresses the most important points that you as a founder should definitely keep in mind:
💡Problem & solution: How well does your startup understand the problem and provide a solution?
💡Product & roadmap: What does the product look like and what’s next in the future?
💡Addressable market: Is the market big enough to take off?
💡Competitors: Who are your competitors and why are you better?
💡Team: Does the team fit together and does it have the necessary power?
You want to start a FinTech – but do you know what technological challenges you will face? Scalability, security and regulatory requirements play a key role. Watch the video by Ole Barkmann (PASS Consulting Group) to find out how to overcome these hurdles and future-proof your FinTech.
