The biggest mistake most fintech startups make is trying to do everything at once.

According to the KAST founder, the secret is finding your niche, becoming really good at it, and building a business around the thing that actually makes you money.

The card is just the entry point. The real business is everything you build around it.

E180: KAST Founder: Most crypto neobanks will be gone in 12 months

@raagulanpathy is the founder and CEO of @KASTxyz , a global stablecoin neobank, and a former Circle exec. He raised $80 million at a $600 million valuation on the thesis that the real prize isn't the stablecoin - it's the bank you build on top of it. We get into the money, the grind, and the token decision that pissed a chunk of his community off.
