The Endgame Building a Legacy Not Just an Exit
At Money20/20 Europe, we dove deep into the question: what does true success look like in fintech?
Isabelle Freidheim (Founder & Managing Partner, Athena Capital), Nicole Casperson (Founder, Fintech Is Femme), and Paul Taylor (CEO & Founder, Thought Machine) reminded us that it's about more than just a lucrative exit. It's about building something that lasts – a company that drives innovation, creates value, and leaves a lasting mark on the industry.
Key takeaways:
- Exit strategy from day one: Strategic foresight is crucial, even before you launch.
- IPO isn't the only path: The best exit route depends on your unique circumstances and long-term goals.
- Legacy over payout: True success lies in building a company with a lasting impact.
