Village Global Podcast

Description

Erik is joined by Howard Lindzon (@howardlindzon), GP at Social Leverage and co-founder and chairman of StockTwits, and Sheel Mohnot (@pitdesi), FinTech investor at 500 Startups.

They discuss:

- Which spaces they’re most excited about within FinTech.

- How the space has evolved over the last decade or so.

- Why it’s a very difficult and crowded space to try to build a company in (hint: “CACs are ridonculous”).

- Their takes on crypto and its future.

- Why incumbents like Google and Amazon have done a poor job in FinTech.

- Why Howard likes companies that have “weird angles of attack” into a market.

- Their thoughts on ISAs.
