Ryan Falvey, co-founder and managing partner at Restive Ventures, talks about how he founded his firm on the premise of helping to unblock the path for fintech founders as they grow and scale their businesses. Ryan highlights the huge untapped opportunities in the U.S. for fintech startups, and explains why there should be more venture capital money flowing in emerging markets.

[4:04] Can fintech startups still do anything transformational in the U.S. financial services market?

[9:22] What does “this is too early” from an investor really mean?

[11:20] When does Restive Ventures nod ‘we want to invest in your company’ and when and why does it say ‘no’?

[20:41] What happens if one partner really loves your idea and the others don’t like it that much? How can you overcome this hurdle as a founder?

[22:35] Interesting trends for Fintech entrepreneurs. Is it a good time to start something?

The non-profit organization that Ryan is passionate about: SaverLife
