EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode of Don't Break the Bank, we speak with Spiros Margaris. Spiros is a venture capitalist at Margaris Ventures, a futurist, keynote speaker, and board member. He's a senior advisor to and investor in several companies in the fintech, insurtech, cybersecurity, health care, and AI sectors. Spiros chatted with us about why embedded finance excites him, the future of banking, why both crypto and cash is here to stay, and how the metaverse will disrupt the financial world as we know it. EPISODE NOTES 3 Takeaways: The future of finance is in the hands of non-financial companies thanks to embedded finance. This enables companies to embrace FinTech solutions for their customers to sell more of their core product. As this is an added service, it can be priced competitively as the margin comes from the core product. It's up to legacy financial institutions to work out how to aid or compete. Crypto and Cash are both in our future. If you can handle the risk, try putting some of your money in crypto, but be prepared to lose it. Every new opportunity is a little bit scary, but don't let that put you off learning more about the metaverse. Key Quotes: “As the gold rush...now, we always look at history. Some people found gold, but very few. The ones who always made money are the ones who sold the shuffles. And I'm looking here at the metaverse, who's going to sell the shovels?” - Spiros “We said it here first. I think the game will shift that everyone will try to do everything, but It's easier for non-financial company to provide some financial solutions on top of your core business then for bank to provide something else.” - Spiros “I'm a huge fan of AI, but that doesn't mean I don't have to discuss trying to secure jobs, reskilling people, because at the end of the day, what's the point of all this technology if humans live worse?” - Spiros -- Links Margaris Ventures Spiros Margaris LinkedIn Spiros Margaris Twitter -- About the Hosts Matthew O'Neill is a husband, dad, geek and Industry Managing Director, Advanced Technology Group in the Office of the CTO at VMware.

On this episode, Sabine VdL interviews Spiros Margaris who discusses the pros and cons of working for a young venture, setting up a startup, as well as the best way to succeed in business. He shares insights on the future of FinTech and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS You build trust with founders by telling them what you think, honestly, but not always expecting them to do what you say. Trust is the basis of working together and with trust anyone can go far, even in difficult times. You have to play to your strengths. If somebody asks you questions – and startups will – and you don’t know the answer, you need to say you don’t know. But then call someone in your network that has expertise and will know the answer. A startup engagement is like any "relationship": you will have great times, you will have mediocre times, you will have bad times. It won’t always be this exciting thing people think of. Even if the job you do is extremely boring and repetitive, whichever job that is, that’s what will make you good at that job long term. The future of FinTech is embedded finance. Even non-financial companies will go into this space with trusted partners or develop their own FinTech solution, which will complement their existing offerings even better. They don’t need to make money through finance, unlike banks. The finance ‘cake’ is going to be split into more ways in the future, including financial offers and non-financial offers. BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s a privilege to be recognised by your community, but at the end of the day, you’re only as good as your community. We grow together.’ ‘Winning is about teamwork: Together we win, like a football team.’ ‘Great young people want to work in great companies that give them responsibilities and let their voice be heard. They’re not so bothered about money yet. They want purpose.’ ‘The nice thing about my job is that I talk to so many smart people. This means that I keep learning. Think about our world as a fantastic international digital school!’ ABOUT THE GUEST Spiros Margaris is a venture capitalist, futurist, keynote speaker and senior advisor.

Spiros Margaris is a global influencer on artificial intelligence, Fintech, and blockchain. In this podcast, he shares with Giulio Coraggio of DLA Piper the main milestones of his career and the turning point that granted him so much visibility in the space of digital transformation. The discussion shifts to debate on the driver of innovation, identifying artificial intelligence as the most promising technology which will become the electricity of the future. Finally, we exchange views as to whether regulations are an enabler of innovation, or the market shall be left to competition, also referring to the revolution that is hitting the banking sector with the growth of Fintech and the exploitation of blockchain which goes beyond cryptocurrency. On a similar topic, you can listen to the podcast "Mike Sutcliff, former Group CEO at Accenture Digital, on challenges and opportunities of digital transformation".

The COVID-19 crisis has put a spotlight on the outdated tech infrastructures of many traditional financial services companies. As cloud computing has matured, banks and credit unions have hesitated to embrace the technology, worried about security, unsure of the benefits and unwilling to hand over control of their data. The pandemic is expected to accelerate a shift to the cloud, not only because many of the concerns have been addressed, but also because fintech and bigtech organizations are built around modern technologies that provide them a competitive advantage. To understand the potential of cloud technology and the options available to financial services firms of all sizes, we are joined by Tom Eck, global chief technology officer at IBM and Spiros Margaris, Venture Capitalist and Founder of margaris ventures. In this episode, they discuss how cloud computing fits into the entire digital transformation journey and why cloud computing is more than just a new technology.

In this episode of Tales from the PROS, I chat with Spiros Margaris, who is a venture capitalist and founder of Margaris Ventures, a TEDx speaker, and he is one of the foremost global thought leaders and influencers in the FinTech and InsurTech spaces. He helps others understand how technology and coding will change our lives, corporations, and nations. We talk about Spiros's journey of failure and success, FinTech, VC funding, how to become a thought leader, technology, and more.   Questions: Give us some insight on your story and journey of how you reached this point of success in your space, primarily FinTech. There is a lot of media buzz about FinTech, AdTech, EdTech, and others. What does it mean to postfix Tech onto a traditional industry? Is this an announcement of disruption? You speak about credibility and trust is critical for community influences and I agree. For someone looking to become an influencer, how do they build this? For the dreamers listening, what do you mean by 'wanting something so badly you are willing to pay for it?' Is that the differentiator between dreamers and doers? Failure is often the best teacher. Looking back, was there a pivotal moment of failure in your life that created a learning opportunity? Knowing that you are a venture capitalist, you're obviously very experienced in the whole funding process. What essentially do VC's look for when businesses come to pitch for investments? When it comes to the disruption of FinTech, what should we expect in the next year? Three How's: How do you define failure? How do you define business? How do you define success?
