Today I'm joined by Michael Mellinghoff, the Managing Director of TechFluence UK. He also launched the FinTech Germany award in 2016. Michael has helped hundreds of FinTech startups to scale and fundraise.

We speak about the power of focusing and how best to make those hard decisions on what ideas and opinions to pursue and what to ignore

Key Learnings:

• If you believe you've found your business model stick to it. Or pivot wholeheartedly. Don't dual track
• Stealth competition is out there working on the same idea and waiting to access the marketing pool of money once product / market fit is right
• Know who to listen to - smart founders seem to take the right advice from the right people
