Reflecting on a whirlwind week at the Riyadh Fintech Expo.
While most people see the polished booths and the handshakes, the reality is a bit more chaotic behind the scenes.
Between back-to-back meetings and trying to find a decent cup of coffee, I had a moment of clarity. We aren't just building a platform; we're building a new way for institutions to trust data.
It reminded me of my early days in London - the same buzz, the same 'what if' energy.
I had the chance to catch up with some old friends and finally meet a few 'LinkedIn-only' connections in person. The fintech community in KSA is moving at a speed that is frankly terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.
We even managed to squeeze in a quick demo for a potential partner on the back of a napkin. (Yes, the napkin strategy still works in 2024! 🤣)
The highlight? Seeing the Banktopus vision resonate with people who have been in this industry for decades. It makes the sleepless nights and the endless iterations feel worth it.
So, if you're out there grinding on something that feels 'too big' - keep going. The momentum builds slowly, then all at once.
P.S. If we didn't get a chance to connect in Riyadh, my DMs are always open. Let's talk agentic systems. 🤖
