Voice of FinTech®

Elliot Chun, Partner at Architect Partners, spoke to Rudolf Falat, founder of the Voice of FinTech podcast, about crypto and FinTech-related M&A.

Here is what they covered in more detail:
  • Elliot's backstory: how he got to do what he does today
  • Architect Partners' approach towards advising FinTechs - M&A or other matters? Does it mean AP advises only scale-ups or incumbents interested in this space?
  • Specifics of the FinTech M&A and lessons learned
  • The average time to go public has increased tremendously. As Fintechs grow larger and more mature, what are the liquidity and exit options for these companies? 
  • Payments and lending were probably the first areas where FinTech grew. Are we bound to witness a significant consolidation wave in this FinTech vertical?
  • SPACs used to be the favorite buzzword of the day not long ago. What's the status now?
  • Why focus on crypto-related M&A
  • Let's talk about the recent Bitcoin rise and fall – is it due to diversification because investors are worried about inflation due to Covid government support or anything else?
  • A book tip: Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon by M. Lewis
