What are you looking for from this year’s FinTech50 entrants?
There are many factors I will be considering throughout the judging process. Particularly I will be looking for those that provide disruptive and innovative solutions.
These elements are crucial in the tech industry because they drive progress and growth, creating new opportunities for companies and individuals. As the driving forces that keep the industry evolving I am looking forward to seeing the nominations and the solutions that they provide. Following the comprehensive evaluation and judging process it will be great to see the finalists getting the recognition and exposure that they deserve.
What advice would you give to companies wanting to stand out from the crowd?
My best advice that I can offer to someone wanting to stand out from the crowd is to explain what your product / service is and how it solves an everyday problem for consumers. Plim is designed with this in mind, our marketing and targeting is based heavily on this ethos as I think many successful businesses are.
Problem solving is a sure fire way to set yourself apart, rather than a hard sell which may not be relevant, take the everyday problem and solve it. As simple as this sounds, it’s highly effective and will help you to set yourself apart from others.
