Welcome to the latest installment of After Dark, called Starting from Scratch. We are joined by the best and the brightest in fintech and financial services industry to talk all about starting from zero, and building better financial systems. What do we mean by that?

Well, just imagine…

The year is 2040. We have exhausted nearly all of the earth’s natural resources. Elon Musk/Jeff Bezos/Richard Branson and others like them have won the space race and the first colony has now arrived on Mars. Billions will follow over the weeks and months. There is much to be done.
We are getting on our rocket to head off to Mars, tasked with building the planet’s first banking ecosystem.
There are no rules, no regulations and no limits. We have the opportunity to shed the baggage of the existing systems on Earth and completely start again.

To build a whole new banking system from scratch: What do you do? Where do you begin?
