Hey there,

Our guest on The Consumer VC podcast is Ben Savage, General Partner at Clocktower Technology Ventures. Ben focuses on investing in the next generation of financial services.

When I first chatted with Ben, he asked me where I banked, the type of credit cards I used, and how I invested in the public markets. What he pointed out is the majority of the institutions I used were the long-serving financial incumbents. When he asked me where I shop for clothes, the majority were digitally native aspiring brands. This is the opportunity Ben sees for Fintech - a shift from the incumbents to the digitally native agile institutions.

We also touch on:

  • Fractional ownership opportunities

  • Where frictionless payments will thrive

  • Why LATAM is underbanked

  • Verticalizing financial services

Thanks for listening.
