The Best Canadian Fintechs Aren't Racing to the US | Tal Schwartz, North Exit Ventures

from Top Decile Podcast · host Decile Group

Tal Schwartz spent a decade building the Canadian fintech industry before he started investing in it. He founded the Canadian Lenders Association, now the largest financial services trade group in the country with every bank as a member, writes the Canadian Fintech Newsletter, and runs the Canadian Finance Summit. North Exit Ventures is his $10 million seed fund, backed by a roster of exited fintech founders and almost fully deployed two years in.Tal breaks down how he reads the US market to call which categories take off in Canada, what open banking arriving this year opens up against the big six, and why the best Canadian fintechs aren't always the ones racing south of the border.
