S8 E7: Not Fintech Investment Advice: Revenir, Summer, Jeff, and Axle
Manage episode 435619801 series 3375192
In this episode of Not Fintech Investment Advice, Alex and Simon spotlight the latest up and comers solving cool problems in fintech.
First up is Revenir, which helps travelers and businesses recover sales tax on their purchases, making rebates happen "automagically" through its API. As a prime "found money" use case for AI, what's Revenir’s long-term strategy? Could a neo-bank leverage this feature as an exclusive advantage?
Then, it’s Summer (the product, not the season) which helps grads manage student debt—combining loan repayment and forgiveness into an HR-friendly package. Selling to HR is tough, but is Summer’s recent acquisition the key to dominating this space? Or would a DTC approach be more effective?
Next, Jeff (the product, not the person) is expanding credit access for the underbanked in the Asia-Pacific with non-traditional data for detailed credit profiles and scores. With its "FICO 2.0" approach, could Jeff set a new standard in credit evaluation?
Plus, Axle automates compliance workflows with AI agents, handling tasks like sanction screening and KYC. Axle offers a clear value prop to firms overwhelmed by regulatory processes, but can their specialized AI scale across different fintech sectors?
Finally, Alex and Simon try to manifest their fintech dreams: interoperable payment rails and unified AnnualCreditReport.com but not terrible.
