StartSusanne and Janos meet on the 28th of November, we both started our respective ventures and were wondering how to know more about FinTech

Table where we meet


OpportunityIndeed FINTECH was an booming sector and yet the knowledge around it was fragment we realized few things:

• US$ 6.8 Billion of Investment in 2014 (now US$19bn)

• 100,000 workers in the sector globally

• 7 FinTech Hubs established and emerging

• 10,000 people following the sector on twitter

• Fragement knowledge sources (e.g. blogs, reports, news)

…Yet there was no dedicated book to learn more


SignatureEventually we found a publisher to put to the public stage all the thought leadership from all of our authors


ReadyFew months later the very first print run was ready and it will now start to reach individuals globally


About the FinTech Book


ProcessThe objective was to create a transparent and open process to provide an equal opportunity for individuals to share their voice about FINTECH
