Rising Giants - N.14 Matthew Tippetts, Co-Founder & CEO, Clik
In this episode we are joined by Matthew Tippetts, Co-Founder & CEO of Clik. Matthew founded Clik in 2016 and is one of the most well funded startups in Cambodia having raised $4M since inception. As the CEO of Clik, Matthew aims to provide brick and mortar businesses with consumer insights beyond what is available online. By bridging the gap between merchants and their customers, Clik enables them to create a personalized consumer experience, provide a seamless secure payment and simultaneously grow their profitability.
Matthew is an experienced global entrepreneur, with over 20 years of experience in Telecom, Media and Technology, first as an investment banker, having worked for San Francisco-based leading technology investment bank Robertson Stephens and having done over 30 transactions (IPOs, private placements, M&A). Then as a hedge fund analyst, having worked for Citadel, the $30bn multi-strategy fund and finally as an advisor. He has extensive knowledge in both developed and emerging markets, especially in Cambodia where he has resided for nearly ten years and Myanmar.
What we get into:
- Why Cambodia is a perfect market for global technology startups to trial and iterate products for scaling regionally (12m people of Facebook, 70% under 30, highest affordability of data in the world etc.)
- Strategies for overcoming challenges in investors relations when presenting Cambodian startups to international investors
- Extent to which the fintech market in Cambodia is fragmented (60+ MFIs, 50+ banks, 30+ payment platforms)
