Building a fintech? Prepare for the stress of managing a team
Results from my survey of 32 fintech founders show that managing a team is the biggest stress!
Hannah's Blog
Welcome to my blog! If you want to read about the wonderful world of finance, and all the great decisions within it, this isn't the place for you. Might I recommend you head over to some paid-for content for that? Perhaps the blogs of large-scale banks?
This is a space to be honest. Brutally honest. To balance out some of the bulls***. And, more importantly, to help investors protect themselves and the planet from greenwashing.
But I'm not totally miserable either! As well as unleashing hell on clueless banks and companies who greenwash, I also report on the exciting developments in fintech. Plus, I offer some tips and insights about writing financial content. 👇👇
These views are my own.
