"Overall, what’s really happening to fintechs going into 2024 is that the return of higher interest rates, inflation, and greater investor scrutiny has re-introduced the overheated fintech sector to some uncomfortable market realities — ones that don’t support wild bets and hopeful speculation. Of course, this leaves the door open for fintech solutions that have a compelling product story, meaningful differentiation from competitors, an identifiable market segment, and, most important of all, a realistic path to profitability." #fintech #fintechinnovation #fintechs #interestrates #inflation #funding #disruption 👀 Karen McDermott Jacob Eisen Matthew Malone, CFA Patrick Leonard Elizaveta Chistyakova
