S6 Ep11: Not Fintech Investment Advice: Chipp.ai, Whop, Revenew, and NayaOne

Simon Taylor’s back on the podcast and he’s excited (but oh so exhausted) to be talking about some of fintech’s most promising startups with Alex.

And later, Simon manifests building the next Moody’s and Alex ruminates on how to solve the reluctance of Buy Now, Pay Later to share their data with credit bureaus.    Sign up for Alex’s Fintech Takes newsletter for the latest insightful analysis on fintech trends, along with a heaping pile of pop culture references and copious footnotes.
