Kristina Mydlar - Co-founder - DataWhisper

Breakfast with Founders 🥐 Last week I met with Kristina Mydlar

It's important to understand the different nuances between markets, commercially and operationally.

Kristina is the co-founder at DataWhisper, a platform enabling safe and regulatory compliant adoption of generative AI for the financial services sector.

We spoke about:

- Market focus. It's very easy during the early days of building to get drawn into different geographical directions in search of a larger footprint. Whilst I have seen businesses struggle in some markets and succeed in others, it's important to understand the different nuances between markets, commercially and operationally.

- Leveraging financial data to accelerate in-person interactions. AI and anonymised transactional data has the ability to improve how we can serve end customers in an attempt to reverse much of the distancing that automation and efficiencies has created in the last decade.

- Understanding how best leverage your attributes to better reach your investors. Fintech continues to have massive returns potential (as we're witnessing with Revolut), but as technology has evolved, so has the necessity to become specific and niche in your problem area. DataWhisper are doing exactly that. Better yet, they're domain experts with unique distributions advantages.

Thanks to Andy Cairns for introducing us (almost a year ago!) at a brilliant RAVL event.
