S2 Ep8: The Fintech Slow Down, With Sarah Kocianski

Why is fintech heading into a period of consolidation and contraction? Answering this question and more is Alex’s guest, Sarah Kocianski.
Sarah is an experienced fintech strategist and research analyst, based in London with over a decade of experience in fintech.

Alex and Sarah bounce around some ideas in the format of the game show, Jeopardy (which, being British, Sarah had to look up). They discuss potential increases in banking regulation, why macroeconomics are going to hurt the buy-now-pay-later space, and the types of companies interested in making acquisitions.
