Picture this: you’ve been beavering away for years on your fintech. Friends and family have chipped in. And now you’ve just raised your seed round of €1m. Everything is going great – until your bank closes your account for no reason, leaving you with no means to receive the cash. What do you do? Philippe Gelis doesn’t need to use his imagination for this scenario. It’s what happened to him and Kantox. Fortunately, Barclays came to the rescue, and this currency management-focused fintech has never looked back. Packed with lessons, both personal and entrepreneurial, learn what Brexit has really done to London-based fintechs; the joys of failure; and why innovating in financial services is easier than innovating in T-shirts.
