That's a wrap on FLY 2024! What an incredible tradition it is for our Engineers to host the FLY Engineering Summit, and this year was nothing short of spectacular! The event was a vibrant gathering of innovative minds, buzzing with energy and ideas, and it was truly inspiring to witness the passion and creativity in action. Over 100 engineers from Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Malaysia came together, eager to make an impact, diving into cutting-edge topics like blockchain fundamentals, engineering management, language model training, building AI mobile apps, Datadog monitoring, and exploring advanced threat modeling and security. A special shout-out to our amazing collaborators at AWS and DoiT, with whom we co-hosted an unforgettable DevOps Workshop! The insights and skills shared were invaluable, and it was definitely one of the event’s standout moments. Thank you, AWS and DoiT, for your time and partnership!

The story of Fazz is a story of resilience, of founders coming together to solve real-world problems in a rapidly evolving region. From Hendra Kwik, who grew up in rural Indonesia and understands the challenges of the unbanked, to Tianwei Liu, the Singaporean engineer building the infrastructure to bridge the gap, their journeys intertwined to create Fazz. We started with Payfazz, a network of agents bringing financial services to those who need it most. Then came Xfers, the technology backbone enabling seamless cross-border transactions. Together, we're Fazz, a group that goes beyond borders to empower Southeast Asians. But our story isn't over. New technologies like blockchain and generative AI are emerging, and we're at a crossroads. How can we leverage these advancements to create an even greater impact? Watch the full story on Insignia Ventures Partners to see how Fazz is building the future of finance in Southeast Asia [38:10 — 45:45]: https://lnkd.in/gE4zdVpq #FazzFinancial #AgainstAllOdds #StartupJourney #EmpoweringBusinesses #FintechInnovation #FoundersStory #InsigniaVC

Two of our inspiring and talented team members, Tania Desela & Tewi bowo ✨🔥
What does it really mean to have a “Day 1” mentality? Ever since it was coined by Jeff Bezos, embracing the “Day 1” mentality has become a go-to company value for tech startups But what does it really mean, especially as the company matures and the literal day one increasingly becomes part of the history books? Who better to talk about Day 1 mentality than with leaders who have been with their company since Day 1 Two of the earliest employees in regional fintech group Fazz, Tania Desela and Tewi bowo, joined the company when it was still building the foundation for an financial services agent network in rural Indonesia Since then, that network has become one of the largest in the country, the company has secured several licenses to launch and experiment with various products, and even expand regionally forming a fintech group that now includes infrastructure for digital assets Through all that Tania and Tewi remain focused on the company’s mission of financial access for all, regardless of what that means for the product “We do our best to plan, strategize, and execute quickly, but along the way, many things don't go as planned. Humility keeps us grounded...For Fazz right now, especially in Indonesia, the biggest challenge is how we stay relevant in the context of our agent network. In the coming years, Indonesians will be using less cash...we need to cater to their evolving problems and needs.” - Tania Desela, Principal Product Manager In learning about their journeys in Fazz, it is interesting that what they consider to be their most significant achievements are products that were not necessarily rolled out in the market but products from which they gained new insights into the problem they are solving. At the end of the day, the product may change but their purpose has remained the same all these years. “We need to keep tracking, is [the product] still relevant for us? If not, we need to change the solution…[but] my role is still the same from back then. I need to build the best experience for the users. My goal is to build the best experience for the unbanked and the underbanked for them to have easier and more usable tools to access the financial services.” - Tewi Bowo, Head of Experience Their experiences over the last seven years of working with Fazz speak to a more common phenomenon of how companies innovate over time. It often starts with a company looking to change (i.e., disrupt) the environment around it (the industry, customer behavior, etc.). But as the company becomes more established in the market, it is less about changing the status quo around it and more about innovating the status quo within the company itself. The organization needs to continue to resist inertia, guided by the bigger picture on which the company was founded in the first place. Such is the core of the Day 1 mentality.

What does self-worth mean to you? For some people, self-worth can be the key to transforming themselves into productive members of society. At Fazz, we are committed to encouraging one another to strengthen confidence and self-worth in the workplace, as we believe these skills are extremely important. We see how self-worth can change the way a person works and how they can create an impact on society. When the chance to coach students on self-worth presented itself, we saw it as a valuable initiative to support. Maleo, an organization dedicated to educating underprivileged students, aims to prepare all their students to become productive and valuable citizens. The students at Maleo were eager to learn more and shared their views on self-worth, despite their struggles with self-esteem. We listened to their feedback about their insecurities and desire to build confidence, and we created materials and exercises to engage these students in building a sense of self worthiness. At the end of Fazz’s session we saw progress! We saw the glint of excitement and confidence in these students, and it felt like a rewarding experience we didn’t deserve. That said, we appreciate Maleo for giving us the chance to volunteer and make a lasting impact in our community – definitely looking forward to our next session with Maleo.
