The Fintech Blueprint guide to designing your 2023 business model

In this conversation, our Editor-in-chief Lex Sokolin walks through how 2023 is the year for executing on raw fundamentals, which means understanding how to design a Fintech or DeFi business model and understanding the shape of demand. Companies must focus on customer centricity and use a Lean Startup methodology to validate ideas and assumptions. This is done by testing products and services with prospects, using digital landing pages, and buying Google Ads to drive people to those landing pages. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATIONThe Fintech Blueprint: https://www.fintechblueprint.com/ Lex Sokolin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexeysokolin/ and https://twitter.com/LexSokolin Topics: start-ups, fintech, DeFi, innovation, disruption, tokenomics, cryptocurrency, blockchain, DAO, Web3, roboadvisorCompanies: Google, Greensky, Facebook, Robinhood, Youtube, DriveWealth, Betterment, Coinbase, MetaMask, Cross River Bank, MoonPayABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT🔥Subscribe to the Fintech Blueprint newsletter to stay at the forefront of Fintech and DeFi: https://bit.ly/3hyhlC2🤝 Partner with Fintech Blueprint through sponsorships: https://bit.ly/3UZllsV👉 Twitter: https://twitter.com/LexSokolin TIMESTAMPS0’31”: Introduction - What the last 3 years brought to the Fintech space2’45”: How to approach 2023 from a mental model perspective7’03”: The approach to designing a Fintech or DeFi business model in 202316’27”: The Lean Start-up Methodology & how it optimises product market fit22’48”: Methods to seeking economically sufficient demand: traditional banking vs neobanking models27’45”: Automation of the CFO stack vs Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)30’48”: Risk appetite: Betterment vs Coinbase vs MetaMask - their similarities and vastly dissimilar approaches to win consumers36’11”: Economic models attached to opportunities44’32”: Platform businesses providing an intermediating layer with repeatable demand46’29”: The nature of economic flows: Money in motion vs money at rest50’49”: Conclusion - closing remarks Disclaimer here — this newsletter does not provide investment advice and represents solely the views and opinions of FINTECH BLUEPRINT LTD.Contributors: Lex, Laurence, Matt, Farhad, Mike, DaniellaWant to discuss?
