Finscale in English

For this second part of the discussion, I'm speaking with Vatsa to delve into numerous topics.  First off, he shares his recent transition to CEO and gives us an inside look at how the company is organised: from the Executive Committee's makeup to Charlie's handover, the dynamics with investors, and his approach to leadership. We also dive into the company's core activities, its global footprint, and more about what they do. We also focused on two key areas - the impact of integrating AI and LLMs into their offerings—detailing the tangible benefits for them and their clients—and their strategies for staying ahead of financial crime and scams. It's insightful —don't miss it.  Enjoy the show! And make sure you don't miss the first part of the episode, where I’m be chatting with the founder of ComplyAdvantage.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©.

My last discussion with Charlie was four years ago. What a joy it was to speak with him again and to hear about all the ground they've covered. We cover the journey of this unique RegTech entrepreneur who began his journey solo, discussing the early days and his vision for the company. We delve into his journey as CEO, exploring how his role has evolved and helped shape ComplyAdvantage into what it is today. We also cover the transition of leadership to Vatsa and his new role as Executive Chairman.  Simply brilliant! Enjoy the show! And make sure you don't miss the next episode, where I'll be chatting with the current CEO about the company's comprehensive value proposition.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©.

I have been closely observing for 4 years how Clarity AI has evolved. This team, exceptionally strong in AI topics and with an ultra-strong academic footprint, has developed an interesting offering for the financial sector (among others). Having Angel on the podcast was a chance to delve deeper into their value proposition and understand the values they uphold through their platform.  The DNA of this scale-up is fundamentally in sustainability and transparency. So, we took a closer look at the models developed, how their offering has expanded and adapted to the needs dictated by European regulation and what makes their sustainability tech kit the "most comprehensive and granular" in the market. We also talked about clients like Klarna and solutions for meeting the requirements of CRR, SFDR, and TCFD. No wonder Clarity AI has won so many awards.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.

Kevin Cook, co-founder of a FinTech company focused on treasury management, discusses revolutionizing treasury management with Fixed-Term Funds for diverse clients. The podcast covers insights into the financial product's structure, client base, outreach strategies, and geographical focus, showcasing the journey of scaling new heights in treasury management.

This is an excerpt of the episode published on Sunday. In this episode, I revisit the world of treasury management, a realm I have been deeply involved with since my younger years. It's a world filled with treasury bills, certificates of deposit, and REPO. Managing treasury involves placing funds, effectively managing risk with clear visibility and transparency, and accessing institutional markets. My fascination with this subject is shared by my guest this week, Kevin. He shares insights into the FinTech company he co-founded, which is revolutionising how clients manage their treasuries with a sophisticated approach. This London-based scale-up has moved beyond traditional Excel sheets, developing Fixed-Term Funds to enable more sophisticated management. You'll learn about the financial product's structure, the diverse client base ranging from private equity funds to large listed corporations, their outreach strategies, and their geographical focus. It's an inspiring journey akin to scaling the north face of Everest.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©. Visit the Privacy Policy of Finscale and Audiomeans for more information.

When I first heard about Ramp Network, two things impressed me: the youth of the founders and their ability to surround themselves with senior profiles, as well as their investors and their ability to deliver in an regulated and increasingly changing environment. This start-up, which already employs 160 people, provides a powerful fiat <> crypto toolkit that enables anyone - from established brands to blockchain pioneers - to easily onboard their next million users into web3.  Since 2018, they’ve been building and improving their core on-ramp and off-ramp products to take web3 mainstream in a secure and compliant way, boasting an impressive track record with 40+ fiat currencies supported, 90+ supported cryptoassets, availability in 150+ countries, and $134 million in funds raised. During this discussion with Szymon, you will discover the vision they have, use cases, including that of Sorare. We also discuss clients worldwide, offices in Europe and the US, and their plans for development.Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©.

After extensive searching within Sequoia, I finally connected with George, who generously shared his insights about many many subjects.  He joins me for an in-depth discussion on Sequoia's growth in the European tech sector. We dive into a range of topics, starting with the structure of Sequoia and exploring the reasons behind its decision to expand into Europe.  The conversation then shifts to current and future trends in Fintech, highlighting their focus in this area. Particularly noteworthy are our discussions about two significant deals: Trade Republic and Pennylane. These examples provide a glimpse into Sequoia's investment strategies and successes in Europe. We also touch on the mafia phenomenon in Europe and the emergence of the companies originating from European scale-up mafias. Finally, we cover the Sequoia Scouting Program, with a special focus on the Arc Programme. This initiative supports pre-seed and seed-stage founders who are in the early stages of developing their ideas, products, and companies. Produced by Gokyo Sàrl-S, distributed by Audiomeans©.
