On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Andrei Craciunescu, founder and CEO or RiskCube about why the next generation of insurance will be built like software; adaptive, transparent, and embedded into every business platform. They also talk about how AI and data are transforming the role of the broker from middleman to intelligent orchestrator, and what the insurance experience of 2030 could look like when protection becomes invisible and trust becomes the new currency. KEY TAKEAWAYS What companies want from the insurance market is fast underwriting, not to talk with humans so much any more, especially startups, they want a quote in minutes not months. This is how we got into the segment where we offer business insurance for startups – mainly venture backed startups. There are some providers that already offer what we are doing, but there is no comparison. Every founder needs to go to every insurance company separately and ask for a quote, which often vary a lot – sometimes 40% difference between quotes. They spend a lot of time investigating these quotes which is expensive and hard to understand. RiskCube is an AI insurance agency for startups where founders can buy and manage insurance online. We looked at what an agency traditionally does; they have different processes in place like application for insurance, renewal, cancellation and claims. We tried to map out all these processes to see which can be done by AI agents. AI cannot solve the whole insurance value chain, but we see a huge adoption on the claims and applications processes. Generally, most founders don't really care which insurance company they're with, they care that they have somebody that really understand them as a customer. We want startups to come to us because they trust the system which provides a fast experience that works for them. It's not very complicated, what we do for them at the beginning, we provide a smooth process where we can say they have high, medium or low risk then evaluate different quotes for them. BEST MOMENTS  ‘Everybody's pushing on the AI front, but the insurance market is also evaluating if it's really necessary, it's not all in which is impressive.'  ‘We build the firm first and then embedded the technology inside the firm, this will make us defensible in the future because we will own the data in our agency and use it to train our own model.' ‘People are using a lot of AI nowadays, but nobody really understands where the data is going or hosted.' ‘Insurance companies tend to adapt AI for themselves, not for the whole market. We want to bring them all together in one channel.' ABOUT THE GUEST Andrei Craciunescu is redefining risk management with RiskCube, an AI-powered platform revolutionising insurance by streamlining risk assessments, accelerating quote processes, and providing real-time insights to help businesses secure coverage faster and smarter. LinkedIn ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models.

3 - A fintech magyarországi fióktelepének indulása óta sorra állnak bele a versenybe a hazai bankok - vonalban Sándorfi Balázs by Balázsék

Fraud losses are climbing, checks are supposedly fading, and yet check fraud is hitting all-time highs. We sat down with Mike Timoney, a payments veteran now leading secure payments work at the Federal Reserve, to unpack that paradox and chart a path to stronger defenses across banks, fintechs, and businesses of every size. The conversation moves from frontline realities to system-wide fixes: why paper is still a prime target, how modern scams bypass technology to persuade people, and what practical tools can help teams react faster than criminals can pivot.Mike shares a global-to-local career arc (from international banking to ACH, wires, and cards) before taking on fraud across channels and ultimately joining the Fed. That perspective shapes a clear mission: keep the U.S. payment system trusted and reliable by educating the industry, building relationships, and mapping threats without prescribing vendors. We dive deep into two new resources: a check fraud mitigation toolkit with visual examples, pattern tells, and tips like positive pay; and a scams mitigation toolkit that decodes phishing, smishing, and business email compromise through case studies and actionable defenses. Both are designed as short, usable modules that help community banks train staff and help larger teams keep pace with evolving tactics.We also tackle the hard part: collaboration and transparency in a fragmented U.S. landscape. With thousands of institutions and varied state privacy rules, information sharing is tough - but not impossible. Mike outlines privacy-enhancing approaches that share patterns, not identities, so institutions can broadcast what criminals are doing without exposing who was hit. AI features throughout the episode as a double-edged sword: it supercharges detection and accelerates response, while giving fraudsters new ways to scale social engineering. The key is narrowing the response gap through better models, faster signal exchange, and continual education.Walk away with three priorities: make fraud everyone's job through constant micro-education, keep learning as tactics shift, and share signals across your peer network. If this conversation helps you see a new control, training idea, or partnership opportunity, subscribe, share the episode with your team, or contact Mike for more information. 

In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with Jac Dunne, CEO of Dimply, an AI-powered financial experience platform that's quietly reshaping how banks, insurers and wealth managers serve their customers. After almost three decades in legacy finance, Jac made a bold move in her mid-50s into regtech and then fintech, “bookending” her career by building the kind of technology she always wished existed inside the big institutions. She breaks down what Dimply actually does in plain English, how it powers hyper-personalised journeys inside apps like AIB's, and why the future of money will be a hybrid of human advice and seamless digital experiences. Jac also opens up about leaving a senior corporate role where her voice wasn't being heard, taking on a startup CEO role, scaling a remote-first team, and building practical programmes to get more women and students into tech. If you're a founder, operator or leader trying to scale something meaningful and still have a life outside of work, this conversation is packed with insight. Show Notes: In this episode, we cover:

Fintech, innovation, and the credit union landscape – a conversation with the Chairman of the NCUA. Detailed Summary: In this episode, Kyle Hauptman, Chairman of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), shares his insights on the evolving credit union landscape and the role of regulators in fostering innovation. Kyle reflects on his career journey from Wall Street bond trading to financial policy, emphasizing his commitment to ensuring credit unions remain competitive in a rapidly changing financial ecosystem. He highlights the importance of balancing innovation with safety and soundness, drawing lessons from past industry failures to stress the risks of inaction and the need for credit unions to adapt to new technologies. Kyle delves into the unique collaborative nature of credit unions, which often share innovations and best practices with one another, fostering a network effect that drives progress. He discusses the challenges innovators face when engaging with regulators, emphasizing the need for clear communication and guidance to avoid unnecessary roadblocks. Through anecdotes, such as the unintended consequences of a regulator's offhand comment about Bitcoin being "risky," Kyle illustrates the significant impact regulatory language and actions can have on innovation and decision-making within the financial sector. The conversation also explores the NCUA's approach to digital assets and blockchain technology, with Kyle expressing pride in the agency's positive guidance during his tenure. He underscores the importance of early, broad, and positive regulatory principles, drawing inspiration from the Clinton-Gore administration's approach to the early internet. For fintech innovators looking to support credit unions, Kyle offers advice on engaging productively with regulators and navigating the unique dynamics of the credit union space. This episode provides valuable lessons for both innovators and regulators on fostering a forward-thinking, collaborative financial ecosystem.

Core banking is no longer a back-office topic.Cloud, payments, AI and digital assets are forcing banks to rethink the foundations of how money moves.In this episode, Arjun sits down with Vishal Dalal, Global CEO of Pismo, to unpack the evolution of modern core banking, the rise of cloud-native architectures, and why migration, resilience and payments complexity are the real bottlenecks shaping the future.From a startup getting thrown out of buildings in Brazil to powering global banks across 70 plus countries, Vishal breaks down the hard truths of building critical infrastructure in a world that expects zero downtime, instant scalability and absolute safety.In this episode:• How Pismo went from a 5,000-card pilot to powering tens of millions of accounts• Why resilience, recovery and disaster readiness are now core banking table stakes• The real challenges of migrating 200 million accounts from legacy systems• Why every country building its own payment rails increases global complexity• How stablecoins, tokenized deposits and CBDCs force a rethink of the entire backend• Why digital assets and real-time settlement are pulling core banking into a new era• How AI is reshaping migrations, operations, debugging and developer speed• Why being cloud-only opens some markets and immediately disqualifies others• How leaders should balance velocity with safety in a geopolitical environment full of risk

Most software teams still think of payments as a chore. We take you inside the playbook that turns it into a growth engine. I sits down with NMI CTO Phillip Goericke to unpack how embedded payments evolved from a basic checkout to a full-stack platform that handles onboarding, underwriting, payouts, analytics, and even embedded finance. The conversation is straight talk on what actually works when you're shipping fast and scaling globally.We dig into the architectural choices that matter: start with a no-code drop-in to activate revenue quickly, then progress to low-code SDKs and finally full APIs when you need deep control. Phillip shares where platforms stall - manual KYC, fragmented global rules, and data blind spots and how a modular approach fixes these without ripping out your stack. You'll hear how compliance-as-a-service, network tokenization, and adaptive 3D Secure can raise approval rates, reduce fraud, and simplify audits while keeping the checkout experience seamless.Looking ahead, we explore why identity, compliance, and data are the foundation for embedded finance. Philip outlines NMI's unified experience that brings payments, onboarding, insights, and new services like business capital into one place. We also tackle AI with clear eyes: use it to augment decisioning and anomaly detection, but wrap it with deterministic controls so money-critical outcomes are consistently right. The key takeaway is a mindset shift: stop treating payments as a feature and start using it as a strategic lever for revenue, retention, and product velocity.If you're building software with transactions anywhere in the flow, this is your blueprint for turning payments into a competitive moat.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Good evening, listeners. Here's your MrBeast update for the past few days.The YouTube megastar, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has been absolutely everywhere lately. Most recently, the 27-year-old content creator launched Beast Land, a pop-up theme park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, opening with over seven thousand people on day one. According to reports from his team, the launch was a logistical masterpiece—Donaldson personally appeared to meet fans, and they had to design an intricate system distributing 250 golden tickets just to manage the crowds wanting photos with him. It's the kind of spectacle only MrBeast could pull off.On the business front, trademark filings reveal Donaldson is expanding into fintech. According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Beast Holdings LLC filed for a neobank application in October, indicating plans to launch financial services including short-term lending, investment management, and cryptocurrency exchange. It's another piece of his sprawling empire that already includes MrBeast Burger, his entertainment studio, and upcoming ventures.But here's where it gets interesting on the philanthropic side. The Rockefeller Foundation, one of America's oldest charities, announced a major strategic partnership with Beast Philanthropy. According to sources close to the deal, the two organizations are combining Donaldson's unmatched ability to capture youth attention with the foundation's 112 years of development expertise. They're planning a trip to Ghana next year to tackle child labor in cocoa farming, directly connecting to Donaldson's chocolate company Feastables, which aims to prove chocolate production can be profitable without child labor.Perhaps most revealing is Donaldson's recent candid admission about his finances. Despite being worth an estimated one billion dollars on paper, the YouTube star says he has very little personal cash because he reinvests nearly everything into content and philanthropy. In fact, he's reportedly borrowing money from his mom to pay for his upcoming wedding to author Thea Booysen, whom he proposed to on Christmas 2024. He spent roughly a quarter billion dollars on content this year alone.Looking ahead, Donaldson is launching the One Billion Acts of Kindness campaign, inviting creators worldwide to participate in what could be his most ambitious philanthropic initiative yet.Thanks for tuning in to this MrBeast edition.

José Antonio Esteban, CEO de IronIA Fintech, nos explica cómo funciona la ficha de fondo de la cartera y qué particularidades tiene. “La ficha de la cartera es una función muy necesaria para entender en qué momento te encuentras”, asegura el invitado. Además añade que es muy necesaria “para atender qué cambios necesitas hacer, donde además la han incluido de manera gratuita”. El invitado explica qué información da la ficha de la cartera, uno de los productos estrella de la compañía. “La ficha de la cartera te da los 18 ratios que nosotros calculamos para cada uno de los fondos aplicados a la cartera”, afirma el entrevistado. De esta forma, apunta, “se tiene una visión a lo largo de todo el tiempo de esos 18 ratios de cómo se han comportado, tanto en las épocas buenas, como en las malas, como en las regulares”. ¿Qué recursos gráficos acompañan a estos gráficos? “En el móvil la opción de ficha todavía la están trabajando porque hay mucha información, pero en el ordenador, lo que tú vas a ver es los gráficos de la evolución que han tenido los ratios”, afirma el CEO de IronIA Fintech. Además, explica que lo que han hecho es “crear una comparación, donde para que no se solapen rentabilidad y volatilidad, se ha llevado a cabo la creación de dos gráficos diferentes”. ¿Cuáles son los ratios más importantes y conocidos? José Antonio Esteban añade que “los más conocidos son volatilidad y rentabilidad” aunque explica que estos gráficos también te informan, entre otras cosas, cuál ha sido tu mayor caída y cuál ha sido tu tiempo de recuperación. También explica que estos ratios “se suelen analizar de forma cuantitativa que se ponen a disposición de todos los clientes, ya que su idea es que el conocimiento de los clientes vaya aumentando según estos pasan tiempo en la plataforma”.

In this episode, Lex speaks Friederike Ernst, co-founder of Gnosis. Together, they explore the evolution of Gnosis from an Ethereum-based prediction market project into a major infrastructure provider powering over $100 billion in DAO treasuries and $10–15 billion in monthly DEX trading via CowSwap. Tracing the company's journey from a 2017 ICO raising $12.5 million in ETH (now worth ~$450 million) to spinning out critical tools like Safe, CowSwap, and Zodiac, all originally built for internal use.Despite their success, Gnosis recognizes that the crypto-native user base is limited and has now pivoted to building user-centric, mainstream products like the upcoming Gnosis App targeting Gen Z with real-world financial utility. The company emphasizes its founding mission of democratizing financial ownership and warns against complacency as incumbents like Stripe and Robinhood enter the space. Lastly, Gnosis sees a near-term opportunity in AI-agent driven commerce, especially through reverse advertising models that could unlock trillion-dollar markets.NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:The $12.5M ICO That Became a $450M Treasury: Gnosis raised $12.5 million in ETH during their 2017 ICO when ETH was trading at $40. Through conservative treasury management and holding their ETH position, that initial raise has sustained the company for nearly a decade and grown to approximately $450 million today. Friederike attributes this to “conservative treasury management and sheer luck” — a remarkable case study in long-term crypto treasury stewardship.Polymarket Runs on Gnosis Infrastructure: Despite Polymarket's $10B+ valuation and mainstream recognition, it still uses Gnosis's conditional token framework that was written years ago. Friederike acknowledges being “a little salty” that infrastructure they built powers such a significant share of the on-chain prediction market economy without Gnosis directly benefiting financially. It's a stark illustration of the “first up the mountain” dynamic where pioneers clear the path but don't always capture the value.The 19th Century German Banking Parallel: Friederike draws a compelling historical analogy: impoverished German farmers in the 1800s faced predatory moneylenders charging 25-40% interest. They responded by forming collective community banks, lending to each other at 4-6%. Within decades, tens of thousands existed, and one-third of Germans remain members today. She positions crypto's ownership model as the modern equivalent — a cooperative financial revolution for a generation economically disenfranchised by incumbent systems.TOPICSGnosis, Gnosis Safe, CowSwap, Zodiac, CPK, Polymarket, Kalshi, ConsenSys, Ethereum, ETH, AI, AI Agents, ICO, Onchain, Governance, Crypto Treasury, Web3, Blockchain, Finance, Banking, Payments, Custody, WalletsABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Rob Schimek, Group CEO at bolttech, about how bolttech's connector model is redefining global insurance distribution, from telcos to auto makers and beyond. They also talk about why the future of protection will depend on trust, data and design more than policy documents and premiums, and what leadership really looks like when you are building at the intersection of revelation, innovation, and human impact.  KEY TAKEAWAYS If you have an hour to solve a problem you should spend 55 minutes on the problem and then 5 minutes on the solution. I've spent my career in the problem, the formation of bolttech is the attempt at the solution – it's the path that I've chosen to bring that solution to the marketplace. Our mission is to work out how to close a multi-billion-dollar protection gap that has existed for years, that's getting bigger? In order to do that we need to really understand the problem. We think there are 4 basic drivers for this multi-billion-dollar protection gap that and they're pretty irrefutable. We're trying to make a seamless connection between the buyers of protection products (insurers) and the distribution partners who have access to the customers so we can put those solutions into the hands of the customers. bolttech's here to try to provide tailored, affordable, accessible, and convenience insurance in the hands of the customer on a B2B2C basis, connecting big partners who have lots of customers to the insurance providers. Without the data there's a tendency to paint everything with one brush, like it's all the same. Data is accessible and available on a real-time basis today and it can be available with no intervention, straight from the vehicle telematics about the unique driver. BEST MOMENTS  ‘We really want to connect people with more ways to protect the things that they value, we want to close the global protection gap.'  ‘The more we make connections frictionless, the more the connection will happen and the more the protection gap will get closed.'‘ If the mission and the vision are super-well-known then nothing can distract you from solving that problem, regardless of what's going on in the marketplace around you.'‘ If a customer doesn't trust the use of AI in their interactions with you then AI won't be successful in that space because it won't be accepted in that space. Ultimately it comes back to do we do things the right way and give the customers a reason to trust us?' ABOUT THE GUEST Rob Schimek is Group Chief Executive Office at bolttech where he leads the team across its operations globally, overseeing its growth and partnership opportunities.

Fintech is entering a new phase where technology, regulation and global markets are reshaping value at a deeper level.Arjun sits down with Sandeep Patil, Partner and Head of Asia at QED Investors, to break down how fintech is evolving beneath the surface.

What if you could sit down with the people actually building the future of personal finance and just... ask them everything? That's exactly what happens in this episode. Joe Saul-Sehy gathers three FinTech insiders around the basement table—Peter Polson (founder, Tiller), Aaron Froug (founder, Grifin), and Ryan Ruff (longtime FinTech pro, Array)—for a rare look inside the industry that's reshaping how we handle money. This isn't about pitching their products. It's about understanding how FinTech actually works, where it's headed, and how everyday people can use these tools more effectively. Peter and Aaron share what they've learned building companies from the ground up, while Ryan pulls back the curtain on the infrastructure most people never see but rely on every single day. The conversation goes deep: What are most people getting wrong about money apps? How can you get more value from the tools you're already using? Where is AI actually making finance easier (versus just adding complexity)? And as creators, how can they design tools that genuinely help people instead of just creating more digital clutter? You'll also hear their take on what's coming next—the innovations that'll matter in five years, the trends that are overhyped, and the blind spots the industry still needs to address. Whether you're a FinTech skeptic or an early adopter, this conversation will change how you think about the apps sitting on your phone right now. What You'll Walk Away With: • The insider perspective on how FinTech tools are actually designed—and what builders wish users understood • How to get more value from the financial apps you're already using (most people only scratch the surface) • Where the industry is headed: what innovations are real and what's just hype • Why some tools work for some people but fail for others—and how to find your fit • The infrastructure that makes your financial apps work (and what breaks when it doesn't) • How AI is changing personal finance in practical ways, not just buzzword ways • What FinTech creators are trying to solve—and where they admit the industry still falls short This Episode Is For You If: • You're curious about what's actually happening inside the FinTech world • You want to use your money apps smarter, not just download more of them • You're wondering what's coming next in personal finance tech and whether it'll actually help • You've felt like financial tools are being built for someone else, not for you • You want the insider perspective without the sales pitch—just honest conversation from people who live this every day Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's one thing you wish your money apps could do better? Drop it in the comments—these are exactly the kinds of insights that help creators build tools that actually work for real people.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to us about all she's learned from the numerous guests on the show recently, from startup founders who build AI to simplify the chaotic insurance back office, to innovation leaders in Fortune 500 firms wrestling with ethics, regulation, and talent shortages. After dozens of conversations here's what Sabine has learned: AI isn't just changing our tools. It's changing our temperament. This episode is her reflection on those lessons; a guide for leaders and builders trying to navigate this new age of intelligence and unpacks five principles that define successful AI adoption. KEY TAKEAWAYS When Branch Insurance introduced AI into its claims process, something unexpected happened. It wasn't the customers who resisted, it was the adjusters. They were worried, not because AI made mistakes but because it didn't. When Lisa Bechtold's (who led AI governance at Zurich Insurance, now at Nestlé) team started implementing AI, they faced the classic dilemma: Move fast or move right. Lisa said: “We don't see governance as slowing innovation – we see it as enabling trust at speed.” ERGO Group worked with CamCom, a startup from India that uses computer vision to detect car damage from photos or drones. The tech was brilliant. The challenge? Integrating it into a multinational insurer's process. They didn't just hand over the product, they sat side by side – engineers, adjusters, compliance officers, even lawyers – to make it work. It took nearly a year to get from pilot to production and the result wasn't just faster claims; it was a new relationship model. The startup learned how corporates think. The corporate learned how startups move. That's the real win. After all the talk about data, systems, ethics, and pilots, what really matters is how humans evolve. AI won't replace people, but people who know how to use AI will replace people who don't. That's not a threat, it's an invitation. AI is already changing what we expect from talent. Claims adjusters now need to interpret AI outputs. Underwriters must question models. Leaders must learn to manage digital teammates. BEST MOMENTS  ‘Intelligent tool don't remove human judgment; they reveal it in higher resolution.'  ‘In this AI era, trust is the new currency.'‘Every AI dream dies in the shadow of bad data.'‘The irony is that the more intelligent our systems become, the more human our leadership must be. Empathy, creativity, ethics aren't data points, they're our differentiators.' ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models. Sabine is renowned within the insurance sector for building some of the most renowned tech startup accelerators around the world working with over 30 corporate insurers, accelerated over 100 startup ventures.
