Interview with Monytri’s Chiara Liqui Lung

This week, we’re putting the spotlight on Chiara Liqui Lungi, co-founder of Monytri, a groundbreaking fintech platform focused on simplifying finance and making investing accessible.

The inspiration for Monytri began with a simple idea from her co-founder David —finding a way to gift both stock and financial education to his godchild. This spark ignited their shared vision, and together they set out to create an accessible, user-centred platform for financial empowerment.

Chiara shares the unique approach to building Monytri, from validating their product-market fit with early users to designing a streamlined platform that prioritizes accessibility and user experience. Overcoming doubts and challenges in the highly regulated financial sector, Chiara reveals how Monytri has managed to stand out, recently gaining wider recognition after being featured in Forbes.

In our full interview, Chiara explains what it takes to build a successful fintech company, including navigating regulatory challenges, learning from early mistakes, and celebrating big wins.

Read the full interview to get all the insights and motivation from Chiara herself!
