Podcast Episode x Season 2 - FRICH

Katrin Kaurov, CEO and co-founder

Aleksandra Medina, CPO and co-founder

Best friends Katrin Kaurov and Aleksandra Medina are the two founders of FRICH, an app with the stated goal of making money social. As young professionals, they struggled with learning how to deal with money and hated the awkwardness that comes with how people talk about finances. Since there was no personal finance app available they liked, they started FRICH. Not unlike fitness apps, FRICH users rely on the accountability towards friends, and the commitment to shared goals, to reach their stated financial goals - often in the form of a playful and fun contest. FRICH is how GenZ likes to save money. Learn why FRICH succeeded where others failed; how the founders turned a disadvantage (not knowing anything about finances) into a competitive advantage. And, how ‘resourcefulness’ is one of the most important traits of an entrepreneur.

Podcast Episode x Season 2 - Otonomi.ai

Yann Barbarroux, co-Founder & CEO

Yann spent decades on Wall Street being involved with derivatives and risk management. For a long time, he was thinking about starting a company to modernize insurance given that that industry was lagging. It took the inspiration from a friend and now co-founder to combine Yann’s idea with blockchain technology to really bring significant change to how business was conducted. Otonomi is now revolutionizing how parametric insurance is being created and sold. Hear from him how he successfully raised funds over multiple rounds, the value of participating in an accelerator program, lessons learned along the way, and his plans for the future of the company.

Podcast Episode x Season 2 - getBamboo

Blake Cassidy, CEO

getBamboo’s mission is to make crypto investing as easy as possible by using round-ups to the next dollar to feed your crypto portfolio (“micro investing”). They are a successful business in Australia, about to launch in the US. Hear from Blake Cassidy about how different the regulatory environment is in these two countries and how they learned to deal with that. Why perseverance is key and really the only thing that keeps you from failing. Why Ether and Bitcoin could serve as a hedge against other investments more subject to inflationary pressures. Blake shares how after university, when he didn’t want to work in a company and follow existing structures and hierarchies, fintech was an awesome place to be and to make your own rules. Why he says sitting on the fence doesn't do any good. Rather, making mistakes, making them quickly, and learning from them is the far better strategy.
