#136 - Future-proof finances with a purpose, Bastian Krautwald, wajve

Millennials want convenience, like being able to open a bank
account in 10 minutes. The GenZ cohort expect convenience and
also want a purpose they can relate to. So how well you
communicate your purpose is becoming a main differentiator for
companies targeting this group. Still, so far very few fintechs
have created financial products for the next generation of
customers. Bastian Krautwald's company is one of the few
exceptions. While still a student, he founded
"deineStudienfinanzierung", a platform for student loans with
David Meyer. It even got them into "Die Höhle der Löwen“
(Germany’s „Shark Tank“). With their new product Wajve, the two
founders raised 5 million in seed capital last year. The funding
is intended to accelerate the roll-out of the platform for the
first customers in Germany before it expands into other European
markets.
