Hey everyone 👋, thanks for coming back to Brainfood, where I take the week's biggest events and try to get under the skin of what's happening in Fintech. If you're reading this and haven't signed up, join the 26,224 others by clicking below, and to the regular readers, thank you.
This was great - I'm tangentially aware of the fintech scene (my spouse worked in it for some time) but personally naive, and my concern - outsider looking in - is that many companies rise on the promise of simplification and lower operational burden, but behind the curtain it's just a bunch of operations folks with spreadsheets versus actual technological innovation. I've observed this with a handful of wannabe-neobanks and full stacks in Asia and I wonder if this is generally true?
