The Fintech Blueprint guide to designing your 2023 business model

In this conversation, our Editor-in-chief Lex Sokolin walks
through how 2023 is the year for executing on raw fundamentals,
which means understanding how to design a Fintech or DeFi
business model and understanding the shape of demand. Companies
must focus on customer centricity and use a Lean Startup
methodology to validate ideas and assumptions. This is done by
testing products and services with prospects, using digital
landing pages, and buying Google Ads to drive people to those
landing pages.
