Camels vs. unicorns: Balancing purpose, profit, and sustainability in fintech
Description
This week, we sit down with Venture Capitalist and Fintech consultant Kimberly Ofori to discuss the concept of Camels (slow and sustainable companies) versus Unicorns (fast and disruptive companies) in the fintech landscape, and why camels are gaining more attention in 2024.
But what about Zebras? These purpose-driven companies prioritize profit and social impact. We discuss the importance of balancing purpose with profit in fintech and how startups should carefully consider how their technology can be applied to make a meaningful impact.
Additionally, we touch on the regulatory challenges that both Camels and Zebras face in the EU, and how they can leverage these as opportunities rather than barriers to be over-prepared and scale internationally with success. Don't miss our enlivening chat with one of fintech's sharpest minds.
