Simon Vans-Colina | Fintech in Web 3.0 | The Curious Learners Ep. 12
Manage episode 319168752 series 3011278
My guest today is Simon Vans-Colina. He was in the founding team of Monzo and is now the CTO of Fronted.
Simon has contributed to transformation of financial services during his time at Monzo and is now passionate about DeFi and Web 3.0. Hence, he was a perfect guest to talk about the new wave of transformation in fintech, i.e. convergence with Web 3.0. In fact, he set up TreeDAO, which is a decentralized autonomous organisation (DAO) that buys and protects woodlands.
Some of the interesting topics that Simon and I talked about are listed below:
- Frictions as a driver of transformation in fintech (then and now)
- Attacking the gap between lending and deposit rates via DeFi
- Fintech start ups: agents of consumers
- DAOs to solve the Tragedy of the Commons
Please enjoy my conversation with Simon Vans-Colina.
