    The importance of saying no quickly and kindly - Nicolas El Base, Partech Partners

    In this episode of Fintech@Haas, I chat with Nicolas El Baze, General Partner at Partech Partners. Partech is a global, multi-stage VC firm led by former entrepreneurs. Nicolas shares challenges of investing globally under Covid restrictions, what he looks for in an investment and why he is excited about LendTable, his most recent investment that he couldn't name at the time. His mantra of saying no quickly and kindly stands in contrast to some entrepreneurs experience with the VC industry and should be more widely adopted. He also talks about the differences in fintech opportunities globally and likens it to Maslow's hierarchy of needs which was super interesting.
