The Other 50: Ho Ho! Father Christmas comes to Fintech Town

As we rolled out the previous episode discussing what we think
lies ahead on Fintech landscape, we saw several ask from people
on what they would like to see as well. So, Theo kickstarted a
Twitter crowdsourcing attempt to get a Fintech wishlist. We then
spent sometime discussing that on this week's podcast.


We start with Diversity as that was the biggest ask from
Twitteratis. For instance, despite efforts across the ecosystem,
we still see a massive difference in funding for women led
startups. This is something we should see addressed soon.


The other key ask was sustainable finance. We had highlighted
this as a key area that would start seeing more and more focus in
the last episode. Since then we have seen some big news with
Mastercard investing into Doconomy and other climate conscious
efforts from Fintechs.


Fintech education was one key ask from the crowd. Theo and Brad
feel there is a strong case for a proper course, where as Arun
felt that with the quality of online content on Fintech, we only
need Fintech education for specialists. These and more in today's
episode.
