On today’s podcast, Derik is joined by Ted Brown - Co-Founder of Digital Onboarding. 

Derik and Ted talk about the founding of Digital Onboarding, which like many startups, was a result of a pivot from the original idea.  Ted shares how the Digital Onboarding platform can help financial institutions drive product adoption and revenue without requiring implementation of a complex marketing automation system.  

They also discuss Ted’s experience in fintech, starting in college for a company named Andera (now owned by Bottomline), one of the first digital account opening solutions.  With digital account opening being such a hot topic these days, it’s interesting to hear how much different the conversations were with financial institutions 15 years ago compared to now.  

Ted provides a lot of great insights as to how early stage fintech companies should spend more time and effort on educating financial institutions, rather than selling them on features and benefits.
