Why fintech?

Driven by belief and focus, we advocate for the growth of financial technology as a sector.

Small business gets a chance

With Fintech Advocate, clients have an ally who knows the landscape, can see the big picture, identify barriers, and create connections to opportunities and key collaborators. We provide a way for our clients to grow, thrive and sustain in the relatively nascent fintech sector.

"I came to be interested in the strategic growth of Fintech innovation particularly as it relates to increasing access to capital and other financial services for small business (those with fewer than 500 employees ) oft referred to as small and medium sized entities or SME's."

"I am fascinated by the immense potential of fintech innovation to explode possibilities by helping to get money where money doesn't easily go - SME's, start-ups, women and minority owned businesses, risky geography, less than ideal FICO scores - you get the picture. The democratization of access to financial services, capital, and more is world changing in ways one can barely imagine."

Fintech will certainly flourish in the years ahead, but particularly in the US, the regulatory landscape is complex and uncertain. All with a stake in the sector, most particularly the smaller innovators, are needed to participate in an on-going dialog.

The policy and regulation side of all this is very important. Regulators and policy makers, for the most part, don't understand fintech. And fintech innovators often don't understand or even contemplate how policy and regulation can aid, impede or prohibit the deployment of their innovation.

The more connections we can create, as we bring powerful solutions to our most valued players in the economy, the stronger and more unified the industry becomes. Private financial technology companies have the power to boost the small business economy in ways that are so often talked about but so seldom accomplished.

The Fintech Advocate will be here to guide, facilitate, educate, celebrate success, cheer you on, challenge you, alert you to bumps and barriers….to keep the dialog robust and relevant.
