FinTech for Dummies

Stakeholderz are delighted to be joined by Brendan Bradley, coauthor of ‘FinTech for Dummies’.

Despite the unusual webinar title this event really has something for everyone. Brendan will be talking to Megan Snijman, Stakeholderz’ Venture Relations Manager, about what the key components are that make a great fintech startup, why it’s an exciting space to invest, how non-execs can help with their involvement, what true fintech is, and how businesses have ridden the recent storm.

Brendan is a financial markets professional with over 30 years-experience, mainly in the Capital Markets environment. He spent the first 2/3rds of his career successfully building business/product development teams which gave him the opportunity to appreciate and understand the value chain from front-to-back, in short from pre-trade through execution to post trade requirements in capital requirements.

He has spent the last third of his career applying that knowledge and experience to identify opportunities through innovation roles, deal investment and management, seeding and forming VC structures, setting up a small SEIS fund, advising, consulting, investing and mentoring within the FinTech space and having Executive and Non-Executive Board positions in large to small companies.

As well as recently co-authoring FinTech for Dummies (published in September 2020) he has also authored ESG Investing for Dummies (published in April 2021).
