These takeaways come together harmoniously as a useful checklist for any fintech founder.<\/p><ul><li>Building trust with the consumer is essential, which includes strong security practices but often relies more powerfully on design and user experience.<\/li><li>Pricing your product correctly doesn\u2019t always mean going low, it\u2019s crucial to consider and reconsider pricing throughout your journey.<\/li><li>Make your value proposition potent and quick. You should understand how to communicate your value proposition in 15 seconds.<\/li><li>Your onboarding needs to be as frictionless as possible, anything you can do to make it easier is worth considering. Every click counts.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc6e9a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fc6e9a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Key Milestones for Your Fintech Startup<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1121f54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1121f54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Step 1: Creating a Minimal Viable Product<\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">No matter what form this takes, creating your MVP is step 1 in the fintech journey. This could be a spreadsheet, a design, a fleshed-out document, but it needs to showcase what you\u2019re trying to build effectively. You can share this MVP with friends and people in your network to get early feedback and see if anyone can challenge your assumptions.<\/span><\/p><h5><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Step 2: Customer Discovery<\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Customer Discovery is the next stop in your roadmap, and allows you to understand your audience. This phase consists of data gathering, surveys, conversations, industry research, and more. You want to build confidence in your understanding of who exactly your product is for, and ensure that people find value in the idea. This step also gives you a valuable opportunity to start considering your major customer segments.<\/span><\/p><h5><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Step 3: Validating the Business<\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">At this stage, it\u2019s time to validate your business by building the basics. Make sure your thoughts, ideas, and direction are all documented, and get started on:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Building detailed financial models<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Building a wireframe or mockup of your product, what you want the customer experience to look and feel like<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Start building a minimally viable brand<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Creating a refined pitch deck to communicate your idea outwardly<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h5><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Step 4: Setting Up the Business<\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">When your idea is validated and strengthened, you can move on to truly setting it up. Using tools like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.angellist.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">AngelList<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fintechcadence.com\/fr\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Fintech Cadence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> can help support your legal and financial structure. This step may feel like the \u201cboring business stuff,\u201d but it can have the biggest overall impact on your business later on, so it deserves your full care and attention.<\/span><\/p><h5><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Step 5: Building the Team<\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Build a strong, reputable team of Engineers, Designers, Marketers, and Advisors. At this stage of your business, you\u2019re looking for ways to keep your team lean but motivated, which means that building equity incentive programs may be a great option for you to explore.<\/span><\/p><h5><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Step 6: Managing Vendors &amp; Partners<\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Picking the right vendors, partners, and service providers makes all the difference not only to your journey, but to the end product itself. Many key tools like AWS, G Suite, Shortcut, Bitrise, and Auth0 have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fintechcadence.com\/fr\/service-providers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">startup programs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> that you can take advantage of. Other supplier relationships can be negotiated, and you can start building long-term relationships with vendors you really value.<\/span><\/p><h5><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Step 7: Fundraising<\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If you\u2019re planning to raise money, creating a detailed fundraising forecast is essential. Financing is complex, and it\u2019s important to be thoughtful of how and where you\u2019re raising money. Create investment criteria and keep in mind the goal of your fundraising: each round should aim to unlock the next level. For example, at the Seed level, you\u2019re validating the ability to put your team together along with a solid product. At Series A and B, you\u2019re validating the ability to grow the company and establish solid unit economics.<\/span><\/p><h5><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Step 8: Pitching Investors<\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In order to validate and unlock each of these levels, you need to consider who is at the table with you and select investors that are adding value. Think about who you want to be there when your company is facing its toughest challenges\u2014 it\u2019s at those moments where the value of your well-selected investors will shine through.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If you want the right investors, you need the right pitch. Knowing your pitch backwards and forwards is necessary, but also knowing the messages you want potential investors to be walking away with. What do you want them to remember? Prioritize the top of that list when structuring your formal pitches and informal conversations. The right investors can be found anywhere, and you\u2019ll likely need to start by networking, networking, networking\u2014 so having these takeaways top of mind ensures that you won\u2019t miss a beat or an opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0c282d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c0c282d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-155eed2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"155eed2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>More on Future Money:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.futuremoney.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/futuremoneyinc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Connect with Philip directly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/philipbarrar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Co-authors: Phil Barrar and Skyla Valade.
