Why Now?
01.
The financial services “operating system” is changing
- Numerous opportunities exist for disruptive innovation and new company growth
- Established players must transform large segments of their businesses in order to remain competitive
- How? Through acquisition
02.
Capital markets were the first to be disrupted
- Electronic marketplaces
- Data-driven research
- Portfolio management
- Large-scale data processing
03.
These same dynamics are being applied to other sectors
- Crowdfunding
- Media and information
- Marketplaces and payments
- Real estate
- Privacy / cyber security
- Venture capital
