🎧The Fintech OG Series: Laura Spiekerman and Aaron Frank

Welcome back for the next episode of the Fintech OG series!

This week I'm excited to have Laura Spiekerman of Alloy and Aaron Frank of Lightspeed on the podcast. With each of them having more than a decade of fintech experience, these two offered incredible insights and advice. From nearly dying to then selling their company to Goldman Sachs and creating the Apple Card, to making the controversial decision to sell to banks (hello long sales cycles, regulation and small pool of customers), we dove in to what has defined their success and what the future of the space looks like.

PS: Don't forget to follow, like and share the podcast!
