About Us
Founders who made
the leap before you
FinTech Consult started because we had been the small team with the big foreign market and nobody to call. Today we are 20 partners in 15+ countries — and being that call is the job.
Why we started
The wrong reason to stay home
We believe FinTech is one of the more genuinely useful things to have happened to finance — and that the best ideas rarely come out of the biggest institutions. We also know, from having founded FinTechs ourselves, how fast an exciting market abroad turns into a regulator you have never dealt with, twenty introductions you cannot get, and a year of runway you do not have.
Most small teams look at that and quietly decide not to go. We think that is the wrong reason to stay home. So we assembled the people we would have wanted on the phone back then: founders, finance experts, and investors who live in the market you are aiming at, and who make in a week the introductions that would otherwise take you a year.
