Listen Later

In this episode, discover how one Calgary fintech company is on a big, audacious mission to save 10M people 10BN dollars and help end the stressful paycheque-to-paycheque lifestyle that affects more than 70% of Canadians and Americans. To do this, the team purpose-built an app that allows employees to access their earned wages before their next pay period, helping avoid costly NSF fees or payday loans to fill in any gaps or surprise expenses. This episode will inspire you to find creative solutions to big problems while providing key insights into scale-ups, including how Zayzoon achieved 5x revenue growth with minimal operating costs and a work-from-anywhere model.

Zayzoon is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Calgary, and it’s not surprising when you peek behind the curtain! Darcy, the CEO, outlines several key factors breeding success for the company, including a community-first focus that puts customers at the forefront when making decisions. They also support Junior Achievement Southern Alberta to encourage financial literacy in the next generation. It isn’t just the mission that attracts key talent to Zayzoon, it’s also a culture that embraces work from anywhere. Darcy knows how you treat your employees will filter down to your customers, which was one reason Zayzoon embraced supporting work-from-anywhere with its employees. This episode will remind you that technology isn’t a silver bullet, but the purpose behind how you leverage it can create an impact for millions.
