My (mostly) fabulous Fintech
Journey to date.
And some lessons
learned …
by Michael Garrity
You know you are the old guy in the
room when ….
in February 2007 I decided to start a
“Fintech” company ...
So … you know … pretty Good Timing!
This crisis made the challenge of starting
a “marketplace for debt” … well … significantly
more challenging …
And most of the dark in my hair ...
And my investors money ...
The result was delay, churn, expense … and …
eating a bunch of my money
The good news is that we pivoted ...
And avoided
a terrible death …
It took a massive re-build, re-cap,
and re-staff ...
And for now things are going a lot better ...
1. Financial Services is a VERY big market with
MANY problems to solve …
2. Canada is a world leader with “Unicorns”
you likely haven’t heard of …
3. Financial Services is more regulated than
drugs and alcohol distribution …
4. It’s all about scale.
So what can I tell you about Fintech
from my experiences …
Deposits
Lending
Investments
Insurance
Payments
1. Financial Services has 4 traditional pillars
… and a new 5th pillar …
1. … and is … big ...
The McKinsey Global Institute
extrapolated that the total
revenue of the global financial
services sector in 2011 was
roughly $11 trillion.
1. … no, like super big ...
That amounts to 17% of the
global economy, measured in GDP.
1. … with many problems to solve ...
2. Canada is a World Leader
2. … with Unicorns a plenty …
3. Fintech is heavily regulated ...
… and speaking of trouble …
Pre-IPO Capital Raised:
● Stripe: 300M
● Square: 250M
● Kabbage 316M
● LendingClub 240M
● OnDeck 220M
● Fundbox 107M
● WealthSimple: 30M
● Financeit: 35M
4. Last but not least - Scale ...
So what all does this mean for Product?
So what all does this mean for Product?
1. Be better than a bank (reduce friction, make it simple,
speak human... )
So what all does this mean for Product?
2. Build around regulatory issues (no seriously … you’ll go
to jail otherwise ...)
So what all does this mean for Product?
Don’t be Clinkle!
3. Never forget it's about managing money ... so design to
build trust, to highlight security and privacy and to
demonstrate professionalism…
So what all does this apply to Product at
Financeit?
Make something complex, simple
Leverage technology smarts ...
Build trust, transparency and
professionalism
