Founders should calibrate where they are on the Fin vs Tech spectrum & make choices accordingly. Mistakes are made when, for eg, a balance sheet business tries to blitzscale. This is common in tech but normally a sign of impending disaster in financial services

There's inherent tension between the 'Fin' & the 'Tech'.
Financial services companies are built in a different way than tech companies - with disciplined execution & a long term, compounding mindset. But tech companies attempt to dominate categories and grow fast.

Blitzscaling is overrated in FinTech and consistent compounding is underrated. The FinTech opportunity will go on for decades, we’re not even close to saturation. We'll see secular compounding in lots of FinTech models many years down the line.
