This is a special episode. I traveled to Virginia for an in-person interview with a fintech legend - Nigel Morris, Co-Founder of QED Investors and Capital One! QED is a global fintech venture capital firm that has backed numerous amazing companies, including Credit Karma, Nubank, Mission Lane, Avant, SoFi, and Klarna. They currently have over $4.0 billion in AUM. Prior to QED, Nigel co-founded Capital One (NYSE: COF) in 1994. Today the bank has a market cap of $69 Billion and is amongst the 10 largest banks in the US with almost $500 billion in assets. They are also one of the most innovative financial institutions that has inspired countless of entrepreneurs worldwide. We discuss: - Building Capital One and the principles and innovations that shaped the success of the bank - Nigel started investing in venture capital 17 years ago – what has he learned about backing great founders? - Why Nigel is still very bullish about the future of fintech - What makes an effective board meeting - A day in the life of Nigel… and a lot more! Thank you for stopping by, Nigel!

Looking forward to joining Taktile on December 3rd to discuss credit-building products and tradeline data! Credit builder products open a window for people to enter the traditional financial system or rebuild credit but have created challenges for assessing credit risk. It is necessary to get into tradeline data to understand how these products work and develop models that accurately assess risk to enable financial progress for consumers. Just the sort of thing we love to figure out at Mission Lane! Reserve your spot for the virtual event here: https://lnkd.in/e7uzFC_f

“There I was – a Senior Vice President at a major US bank, with $150 in my account.” Lisa Ann Fischer has counseled hundreds of unbanked and underbanked Americans, from those new to the country and without credit history to those recovering from tragedy. Today, she is the COO of Mission Lane, an organization that prides itself on serving these individuals with compassion by investing heavily in understanding the full picture of their lives. But nothing taught her more about compassion than facing financial disaster herself. Read Lisa’s story here: https://hubs.la/Q02nMC7J0
