For builders, there are a few questions to be concerned. As many of
the startup companies are related to online and mobile payments, and
alternative finance and financial management, how can a FinTech
product outreach to its full potential and become a multi-facet
product to be implemented into a consumer-based market? At the same
time, how do FinTech companies and products differentiate themselves,
especially with limited capital and resources for startups, from the
growing market?
For investors, they also share the equal amount of worries. How do
investors make decisions on investment? What factors construct their
decisions and what are they looking for in a company's different
rounds of fundings? What remains consistent and what has changed?
To elaborate answers to these questions, this panel discussion invites
experienced investors and builders to share their thoughts and
perspectives on the matters.
