Lessons From the Front Line of Scaling in Fintech

Description:

It’s the equation every fintech entrepreneur is trying to crack: the right idea, in the right market, equals a successful business. But behind the math is a more complicated story of what really goes into building the infrastructure that can support a product customers will rely on several times a day.

Twitter's FailWhale was a cute symbol of Twitter’s growth, but in fintech, a product that crashes has huge stakes, leaving customers cut off from their money. This panel will go behind the scenes on the hero's journey behind the hero’s journey in fintech. Moderated by Randy Kern, CTO of card issuing platform Marqeta, you’ll hear from leading fintech and payments innovators about the sleepless nights, averted crises and big picture innovations that make their companies work in the longrun.
