Happy to announce

Bonjour!

Unfortunately, I had to decide last minute not to travel to Miami this week, where I was going to support my friends, from my portfolio startup,?NUFI. They are startup finalists at?Lendit?LATAM, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.?

Luckily,?Lendit?LATAM?is a hybrid event so you don’t need to attend the event on-site in Miami to check it out. If you want to see?NUFI?rock the startup stage, get your?virtual ticket?now! ?? I’ll be online for sure!

Happy to announce

Now that we are talking about the US, I’m happy to share with you the launch of my new?FinTech News USA Linkedin?and?FinTech News USA Newsletter.

Why? Because my network in the US is growing, as well as the demand for US FinTech news. So, it was time to set up a separate channel, fully dedicated to FinTech news from the US.?

So please?keep me posted?if you see any interesting news for me to read! I always love to learn more and share the most relevant articles with my network on this great new channel.?

To my US network; show this channel some love and sign up now!

My take on the news

Two interesting reports came out this week, about two of the most successful and the highest valued private FinTech companies from Europe.?

Whitesight?wrote an interesting?article?about?Klarna’s?“super app” strategy and?C-Innovation?published an interesting?deep-dive report?about?“Revolut?and the Digital Competition”.?

Both reports are highly recommended! Also, do follow both?Whitesight?and?C-Innovation?since they always publish?great reports?that deliver actionable insights on FinTech and Digital Banking. A big shout out to them!

CEO spotlight

I also want to take this opportunity to give a huge shout-out to my mate?Dawid Rozek?on the amazing work he did on building?Zen.com. They are ready to conquer the world, I am sure!?

Check out this latest video from?Impact'21?where Dawid explains on stage “If there is a chance for a pan-European challenger bank to be born in Poland”;

During the last couple of years, I’ve had the pleasure to work with and get to know Dawid, and I have high hopes that?Zen.com?is going to have a big impact,?globally.?

So, if you would ask me: is there is a chance for a pan-European challenger bank to be born in Poland??

I would answer with a clear and emphatic?YES!?

If you want to learn more about the Polish FinTech space, check out:?The Map of Polish FinTech?report and/or check out an overview of all FinTech players in Poland on my FinTech Maps overview page?here.?

I think I shared enough stuff now to fill your day ;) Enjoy your Sunday and we’ll talk soon!

Cheers,

Marcel.
