S4 Ep4: Meet The Unconventional Fintech Founder Changing The VC World

From struggling to read to becoming a highly successful VC and Founder, this is the unique story of Drew Glover.

Drew is Co-Founder of Fiat Ventures and Fiat Growth, helping fintech startups scale through mentorship and investment. He grew up overcoming learning difficulties, thanks to his own determination and an encouraging mom, and is now a successful investor and mentor.

Nicole and Drew get into how his success as an athlete helped him become the best communicator, why admitting your weaknesses is the key to self-growth, and why he believes fintech investment will unlock opportunities for smaller companies who deserve success.
