I've been truly inspired by the amazing talent in the awesome startups that I've had the good fortune of advising. uqudo is one of them. What I look for in such enterprises is monetizing value through tenacity, focus, frugality, scalability, moats and "NO BS". Too often, one comes across ventures that are more keen on social media presence, getting everyone signed up for Slack or some such, using "productivity" tools, attending conferences...doing everything except for investing time on customers and finding monetizable solutions to their problems. Another possibly controversial point - there is no real unique "fintech" tech. My suggestion to fintechs in the region is to focus on the tech itself and widen the applicability. Achieve scale differently from the way its been achieved in the East and India. Mohamed E.
