From dreaming at Pismo Beach to a small startup to a Brazilian Unicorn to fintech leader and being acquired by Visa, Pismo gets the complexities - and necessity - of transformation and growth. Here are key takeaways from Co-Founder and CTO Daniela Binatti during the #Money2020 session, "Trust, Belief, and Chaos: Lessons from a Leading Brazilian Unicorn."
🟠What an incredible session at #Money2020USA!🟠 Our Co-Founder and CTO, Daniela Binatti, took the stage to share her inspiring journey in the panel, "Trust, belief, and chaos: Lessons from leading a Brazilian Unicorn." In this conversation with Monica Millares, Daniela gave us a look into what it takes to scale a fintech unicorn, from navigating the complexities of rapid growth to driving innovation in an ever-changing market. She spoke about Pismo’s journey, from convincing banks to trust in the cloud to growing our team during challenging times, and even the cultural transformation that allowed us to thrive in a remote-first world. Here are some key takeaways from her session: 1️⃣ The power of difference: “The dilemma is usually ‘should I buy or build a platform’,” Daniela explains. “We offered a different path—a toolkit of APIs that enabled banks to control their destiny.” 2️⃣ Guided by belief: "We are interested in leaving a legacy,” she adds. “Changing the way banks deal with their technology.” 3️⃣ Opening new chapters: “Powered by the acceleration that a company like Visa can provide, we believe we can change the way banks use technology. It’s a new chapter, and just as exciting as the first one.” Thank you to everyone who attended and engaged in this discussion.
