Start
Susanne and Janos meet on the 28th of November, we both started our respective ventures
and were wondering how to know more about FinTech
Table where we meet

Opportunity
Indeed FINTECH was an booming sector and yet the knowledge around it was fragment we
realized few things:
• US$ 6.8 Billion of Investment in 2014 (now US$19bn)
• 100,000 workers in the sector globally
• 7 FinTech Hubs established and emerging
• 10,000 people following the sector on twitter
• Fragement knowledge sources (e.g. blogs, reports, news)
…Yet there was no dedicated book to learn more

Signature
Eventually we found a publisher to put to the public stage all the thought leadership from all
of our authors

Ready
Few months later the very first print run was ready and it will now start to reach individuals
globally

About the FinTech Book

Process
The objective was to create a transparent and open process to provide an equal opportunity
