There are by some estimates over 26, 000 fintechs globally. However, as this audience will know, the sector has been on a rollercoaster ride since 2020. Post COVID fintech funding dropped dramatically in 23 and in investment terms, the first half of last year was down 57 percent year on year versus 2022. Q1 24 this year was the worst performing fintech quarter since the start of 2020. However, it's not all gloom and doom. There is optimism across the sector from both the investment community and the fintechs themselves, particularly for those firms who have a clear niche product, a rapid growth rate and effective partnerships. In this episode of The London Fintech Podcast, Tony Clark talks to Niall Cameron about product focus and leveraging the fintech ecosystem, something that Niall is an expert in. Niall shares his insights on achieving product-market fit, staying ahead of trends, and the importance of narrowing focus for deep expertise.
