In this episode I'm joined by William Lorenz. Having founded two fintech startups and been an exec at a number of others, it’s easy to think that William has successfully achieved all of his startup ambitions. In many he has, but he’s still far from finished. His journey takes us from building his first fintech after the dot com bubble burst, all the way to now, where he is COO for yet another early stage payments company.
