On episode 25 I talk with Duy Vo of Productfy. Productfy is a fast and easy developer-first platform for any company to build, test, and launch financial products.

They're essentially building a distributed network for traditional finance. They work with small community banks and credit unions to help put the right pieces in place that you would need to launch financial products. 

We had a really fascinating discussion not only about technology and where it is, but also beyond the technology, the programs, the way in which they’re building these new applications. We discuss where the product is today, what they're looking to launch towards the end of the year, fundraising, intentional culture for a distributed team and a whole lot more. I really hope you enjoy the show.
