Building a Fintech: 7 Key Lessons from Successful Fintech Founders

Roughly a year ago, my co-founder and I started reaching out to fintech founders to ask them about their startup journeys, and discover how they overcame the common hurdles of building a fintech.

Our goal in doing this was to bring valuable insights to our community of entrepreneurs. After all, one of the best ways to avoid pitfalls is to learn from those who’ve experienced them first hand.

Fast-forward to today, and we’ve had conversations with all kinds of entrepreneurs, from ones who took their businesses all the way to unicorn status, to others who managed to achieve a successful exit before they even had a chance to launch!

They all offer a unique perspective on building a fintech startup, with their own insights on the hurdles founders face.

From those conversations, I’ve compiled seven key lessons any entrepreneur should have at the top of their mind when building a new project.
