Becoming a fintech is no easy task. There's the foundational idea, there's the team, the market opportunity, macroeconomic conditions, and the necessary skills of running a business. Never easy and today it's even tougher for new fintechs given rising interest rates, consumer hesitation, and the uncertain global economy.

There's also the make-or-break concern of regulatory compliance.

In this Payments on Fire® episode, Cameron Peake, partner at VC firm Restive Ventures (recently renamed from Financial Venture Studio) joins Glenbrook's Yvette Bohanan and George Peabody in a discussion on the regulatory and contractual issues fintechs face.

Cameron's firm takes a hands-on approach in helping their fintech investments navigate those complexities. And in these conditions, a guiding hand has to be a welcome value-add for a fintech looking for a VC partner. Smart money is always better than the clueless variety.
