Still very much energized from Money20/20 Europe last week. What a conference! Thanks to J.P. Morgan for inviting Alexandra Rivas-Gale from ClearBank, Esther Groen from European Women Payments Network (EWPN) and myself to share our thoughts about 'Females in Fintech' with a diverse room of industry leaders. We were asked about some of the biggest challenges for women in fintech. Having been an entrepreneur for the last couple of years, and observing what it takes to grow a company, I spoke about the need for more #venturecapital available for and accessible to women-founded businesses. There are so many amazing businesses out there (I am happy to connect you with some if interest) that have the metrics, the product market fit, and are ready to scale - just need the support system required to do so. We at Markaaz are also leaning in. Through our global business identity platform (and directory of 480 million businesses), we are enabling all businesses to have the most up to date data-profile, so when they apply for vital services, their digital identity can speak on their behalf. Thanks to Sophie W., Anna Blyablina, Bas Ruiter, Alexander Huiskes, Robin Lynch for your leadership in this space! #jpmorgan #fintech #womeninfintech #businessdata #businessidentity #smallbusiness

The importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) has never been more prominent. These are not passing trends but fundamental considerations for businesses in their operations and service endeavours. Unfortunately, despite being recognised for its pioneering nature, the fintech industry still grapples with a significant diversity challenge. The failure to adequately address this issue has the potential to impede the industry's expansion.

After 15 years of working in fintech, I don't think I know a single woman in this space who hasn't faced down unfair bias when up against the "boys club." Read: All founders and their companies should be subject to healthy criticism, but when that criticism is rooted in bias - not data- is when it becomes a problem. I tackled this topic in this week's issue of Fintech & Friends, and had the opportunity to include insights from the amazing Kristy Kim, Founder and CEO of TomoCredit and highlight why being underestimated may be a superpower, but we could certainly use a little help from our (male) friends. If you enjoy the article, please consider subscribing to Fintech & Friends (link in comments) and share ♻️ this post with your network of female fintech founders - and of course, their friends 😉 #pr #fintech #femalefounders #publicrelations #pragency
