Investor and Publisher Nik Milanović Discusses Toronto's Fintech Scene
Summary
In this episode of the StartWell Podcast, we sat down with Nik Milanović, founder of This Week in Fintech (the world's largest fintech community with 160,000 subscribers.)
Nik discusses the company's first Toronto meetup event and shares insights about fintech ecosystems in Canada, highlighting how Canadian markets are often overlooked by US investors despite having significant potential and talent.
For their first ever Toronto fintech meetup, This Week in Fintech received 450 attendee applications - and only had 150 spots available. Nik believes that Toronto is has a healthy fintech (and tech) ecosystem and this event proved it.
In addition to talking about his company and events, we discussed the importance of in-person connections as well as where trust can evolve in the workplace.
