Welcome to this week's special offering: a two-part series on ComplyAdvantage, a company that's been on my radar for its impressive strides in RegTech. We're in for a treat as I sit down with both the visionary founder, Charlie Delingpole, and his successor, Vatsa Narasimha , to peel back the layers of this dynamic company. I'm sharing excerpts from these two episodes, which will be broadcast two days apart. Enjoy !

Part#1:  Charlie Delingpole

Part #2: Vatsa Narasimha

I have been closely observing for 4 years how Clarity AI has evolved. This team, exceptionally strong in AI topics and with an ultra-strong academic footprint, has developed an interesting offering for the financial sector (among others).

Having Angel on the podcast was a chance to delve deeper into their value proposition and understand the values they uphold through their platform. 

The DNA of this scale-up is fundamentally in sustainability and transparency. So, we took a closer look at the models developed, how their offering has expanded and adapted to the needs dictated by European regulation and what makes their sustainability tech kit the "most comprehensive and granular" in the market. We also talked about clients like Klarna and solutions for meeting the requirements of CRR, SFDR, and TCFD.

No wonder Clarity AI has won so many awards.

In this episode, I revisit the world of treasury management, a realm I have been deeply involved with since my younger years. It's a world filled with treasury bills, certificates of deposit, and REPO. Managing treasury involves placing funds, effectively managing risk with clear visibility and transparency, and accessing institutional markets. My fascination with this subject is shared by my guest this week, Kevin.

He shares insights into the FinTech company he co-founded, which is revolutionising how clients manage their treasuries with a sophisticated approach. This London-based scale-up has moved beyond traditional Excel sheets, developing Fixed-Term Funds to enable more sophisticated management. You'll learn about the financial product's structure, the diverse client base ranging from private equity funds to large listed corporations, their outreach strategies, and their geographical focus.

It's an inspiring journey akin to scaling the north face of Everest.

When I first heard about Ramp Network, two things impressed me: the youth of the founders and their ability to surround themselves with senior profiles, as well as their investors and their ability to deliver in an regulated and increasingly changing environment. This start-up, which already employs 160 people, provides a powerful fiat <> crypto toolkit that enables anyone - from established brands to blockchain pioneers - to easily onboard their next million users into web3. 

Since 2018, they’ve been building and improving their core on-ramp and off-ramp products to take web3 mainstream in a secure and compliant way, boasting an impressive track record with 40+ fiat currencies supported, 90+ supported cryptoassets, availability in 150+ countries, and $134 million in funds raised.

During this discussion with Szymon, you will discover the vision they have, use cases, including that of Sorare. We also discuss clients worldwide, offices in Europe and the US, and their plans for development.

After extensive searching within Sequoia, I finally connected with George, who generously shared his insights about many many subjects.  He joins me for an in-depth discussion on Sequoia's growth in the European tech sector. We dive into a range of topics, starting with the structure of Sequoia and exploring the reasons behind its decision to expand into Europe. 

The conversation then shifts to current and future trends in Fintech, highlighting their focus in this area. Particularly noteworthy are our discussions about two significant deals: Trade Republic and Pennylane. These examples provide a glimpse into Sequoia's investment strategies and successes in Europe. We also touch on the mafia phenomenon in Europe and the emergence of the companies originating from European scale-up mafias.

Finally, we cover the Sequoia Scouting Program, with a special focus on the Arc Programme. This initiative supports pre-seed and seed-stage founders who are in the early stages of developing their ideas, products, and companies.

This 200th episode is not just a simple celebration. It also symbolises a retrospective, a look back at the significant trends, fruitful collaborations, and, above all, the skills and qualities of all the outstanding entrepreneurs I've had the chance to interact with. I will talk about how I got started, the soft skills I rediscovered, the trends I followed, and the entrepreneurial lessons I learned. 

Expect a journey through time, a deep dive into what "Finscale" has discovered, shared, and celebrated. I'm excited to share this synthesis with you. Thank you for joining me on this adventure, and I wish you an excellent listening experience for this special episode of "Finscale".

 And as I say every week, I'm counting on you to rate this episode on podcast platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcast. It's also a way for me to get feedback.
