    Insights: Is the ground shifting for fintech funders and founders?

    For those listening in GCC and Turkey, this episode is sponsored by XM. https://bit.ly/ClaimBonusFintech -- About this episode: On this week's Fintech Insider Insights, hosts Ross Gallagher and David Barton-Grimley are joined by some great guests to dive into funding. Some have argued that the fintech industry was born in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crash, fuelled by low interest rates, abundant capital, and the promise of building something better than what came before. For years, the playbook was simple: raise big, scale fast, and disrupt everything. After those heady heights, however, the dynamic has shifted. As reported by Innovate Finance, global investment in fintech dropped to $51.2 billion in 2023—a 48% decline from the previous year’s figure of $99 billion—following the pandemic. So, where does this leave our entrepreneurs? Being a fintech founder can be a lonely, even terrifying prospect—unless you’ve got the backing of the best. Today, we’re going to explore what the current funding landscape actually looks like for fintech founders and funders.

    For those listening in GCC and Turkey, this episode is sponsored by XM. https://bit.ly/ClaimBonusFintech -- About this episode of Fintech Insider: On today's show, we're asking: Is crypto still the rebellious outsider in finance, or has it finally earned its seat at the boardroom table? With tokenisation, stablecoins, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) emerging, crypto seems caught between financial freedom and government oversight. Is it still a revolutionary force, or has it become just another cog in the system? Early scams and volatility kept institutions wary, but is crypto now maturing beyond speculation into a true financial backbone? And if so, is it ready to lead?
