About this episode
The episode discusses the reasons behind the failure of many FinTech startups, emphasizing the importance of customer engagement and execution over mere ideas.
Most founders love building. Fewer love selling. And according to Vasyl “Vince” Soloshchuk, that’s exactly where many startups go wrong. In this episode, we talk about why rejection is one of the most valuable forms of startup data, why founders need to talk to customers earlier, and why traction beats a smart-sounding idea every time. We also dive into FinTech, AI, distribution, data infrastructure, investor red flags, burn rate mistakes, and why execution matters more than vision. A practical episode for founders, operators, and anyone trying to build something real instead of just building something impressive-looking.
