Matt Briers has been the CFO of Wise since 2015. In 2021, Matt led the company to a direct listing on the London Stock Exchange, the first major direct listing in Europe. Wise, founded in the UK in 2011 by Kristo Käärmann and Taavet Hinrikus, has revolutionized cross-border payments for individuals and businesses by making them easier, faster and cheaper. After 10 years as a private company, Wise followed in the footsteps of Spotify and Slack by doing a direct listing instead of a regular IPO, at a valuation of 11 billion dollars. With Matt, we discuss the rationale and timing to go public for a profitable tech company which doesn't need to raise money, his experience of the direct listing process, and the considerations around a UK listing rather than US.

Kui teised samal ajal koondavad, siis Wise'il pole see viimase aasta jooksul olnud kordagi mõtteski. Seda põhjusel, et seni on tegutsetud tasa ja targu, märkis Wise'i kaasasutaja ja juht Kristo Käärmann taskuhäälingus „Tark investor”. Saates tuli pikemalt juttu Wise'i ärist, kas firmast on saanud nüüdseks küpse ja natukene igav ettevõte, kaua on veel jaksu kiirelt kasvada ning miks pole neil tekkinud tungi teisi ettevõtteid odavamalt üle osta. Intervjuu lõpus avaldas Eesti üks rikkamaid mehi, mille alusel ta valimistel oma hääle andis.

Since its founding over a decade ago, Wise has expanded to become a global transaction platform moving £9 billion monthly. Its CEO and cofounder Kristo Käärmann takes the hot seat to discuss how the company has grown and the future of Wise, especially in Asia.

Megjelent a Portfolio Checklist, lapunk munkanapokon jelentkező podcastjének hétfői adása. A mai műsor első részében arról volt szó, hogy júliusban fordulat állt be a hazai költségvetésben, ugyanis 255,7 milliárd forintos többletet ért el az államháztartás központi alrendszere. Ilyen mértékű szufficitre az év hetedik hónapjában korábban még sohasem volt példa, így ez alapvetően lehetne pozitív hír is, de ha közelebbről vizsgáljuk a folyamatokat, akkor már a büdzsé szempontjából sem egyértelmű a kép, ráadásul a helyzet a szegényebb társadalmi rétegek további leszakadásával fenyeget. A témával kapcsolatban Csiky Gergely, a Portfolio lapigazgatója volt a Checklist vendége. Műsorunk második részében azzal foglalkoztunk, hogy megszólalt a Portfolio-n Kristo Käärmann, az alapvetően nemzetközi utalásokra szakosodott fintech, a Wise (korábban Transferwise) alapító-vezérigazgatója. Az adásban arról is kérdeztük Turzó Ádámot, lapunk Pénzügy rovatának elemzőjét, hogy miért emelt nemrég díjakat a vállalat, mely alapvetően pont a drága banki szolgáltatások ellenében pozícionálja magát. Természetesen fintech-ekről is szó lesz a Portfolio Banking Technology 2022 konferencián október 6-án, Budapesten.

In this in-depth interview the TransferWise (now Wise) co-founder and CEO explains how a €500 loss led to the creation of a multi-billion dollar business.

Peeter Printsi (s 1961) loomingut esitavad 15 eesti kitarristi. Albumit kommenteerib väljaandja Kristo Käo.

Stuudios on külas albumi väljaandja Kristo Käo, et rääkida Peeter Printsi kitarriloomingust ja plaadist.

In 2007, Kristo and his friend Taavet were two Estonian friends living and working in London. They quickly realized how expensive it was to exchange money between Pounds and Estonian Euros. Their hack to this problem ended up becoming the foundation for their startup, Wise, which they founded in 2011. Today, Wise allows people to hold 56 currencies, move money between countries, and spend money abroad. Not only is Wise one of the world's fastest-growing tech companies, it was recently listed on the London Stock Exchange in a direct listing that valued the company at $11 billion. Kristo shares why demand for Wise is still growing at a rapid clip, why he's personally eager to get back to the office, and why saying thank you is critical.
