[EXCERPT] #39 - Ronit Ghose (Citi) - Past, present and future of Money

For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocExcerpt of the episode released on Sunday. I'm excited to speak with Ronit this week. He has a talent for simplifying finance from a macro perspective and can think conceptually about the industry's future. Recently, this brilliant mind from Citi published a new book on the industry's future. He presents a comprehensive overview of money throughout history, spanning from ancient times to the present day and beyond. This episode provides us with a great opportunity to gain perspective and focus on some incredible aspects that tech in finance enables, such as promoting greater inclusion and providing access to banking services for women. These use cases demonstrate that change is indeed underway and is accelerating. I share Ronit's passion for discussing the future. So, I'll let you enjoy this beautiful retrospective guided by his book. Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.

#38 - Lukky Ahmed (Climate X) - Understanding climate risk with a business approach

For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocThe topic of Climate Risk is one that deeply concerns me, as it does many individuals I engage with. In the financial world, it's a subject that's perceived in vastly different ways, depending on whom you speak to. I was keen to have this conversation because Climate X's method strikes me as pragmatic, sensible, and attuned to business realities, a rarity in the climate risk analysis arena. Lukky, the CEO of Climate X, is an intriguing figure with a profound grasp of his field. He has consistently impressed me since our initial meeting. Our discussion delves into their business methodology and the development of their Spectra model—an impressive and user-friendly tool. We explore how this UK-based start-up achieves global reach in providing climate risk data by fusing scientific research with econometrics to produce comprehensive climate risk analytics. I assure you, the conversation is not just enlightening but genuinely captivating.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©.

#37 - Florian Wimmer (Blockpit) - Track crypto investments and outsmart your taxes

For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocAbout three years ago, I began to explore the story of Florian, an early cryptocurrency advocate and tax expert with experience at one of the Big Four accounting firms. Nearly a decade ago, Florian grappled with the tax declaration challenges that all crypto holders face. Currently, a minority accurately report their crypto earnings, but this may shift in 2026 due to the impending introduction of DAC 8. This directive aims to give tax authorities the information they need to track and assess the tax implications of crypto-generated income by creating a standardised framework for cross-border reporting. The potential market for Blockpit is vast. Our conversation spans Blockpit's technological core, their client base, and their global expansion efforts. I find the complexities of audit trails and risk management, especially regarding cyber risks, particularly challenging. You'll see just how seriously this Austrian start-up takes these challenges.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.

#36 - Dr. Andre Retterath (Earlybird Venture) - The impact of tech, LLMs, and AI on the investment industry

For the Finscale MASTERCLASS "FinTech - Back to Basics", it's here : http://bit.ly/3KFu9ocIs it accurate to say "A forewarned man is worth two"? Let's think about this as we delve into the transformative effects of technology, LLMs, and AI on the investment sector. It was this curiosity that led me to a conversation with André, with the aim to uncover how these advancements might reshape the entire investment value chain. Between you and me, there hasn’t been a week when I haven’t reflected on this topic. This engineer, turned VC, shared what they've deployed Earlybird to refine processes, including sourcing, analysis, due diligence, and even how they interact with entrepreneurs and strategise divestments. It’s particularly intriguing to examine the role automation plays in a field traditionally celebrated for its human touch. André advocates for what he calls "augmented VC" - the perfect blend of personal investment intuition and a methodical approach to minimise biases and inefficiencies. You're about to get a glimpse of how these technologies could revolutionise the industry. My advice - dive deeper, stay informed, and brace yourself for the changes ahead. They promise to redefine the landscape.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, hosted by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.
