FinTech Growth Shifts from Product Innovation to Strategic Networking
The FinTech sector has evolved beyond its early-stage reliance on product novelty, entering a phase where strategic networking dictates market success. With mobile payments and digital wallets now mainstream, differentiation requires more than technological superiority—it demands high-leverage partnerships.
Customer acquisition costs (CAC) and investor traction increasingly hinge on securing external assets: regulatory alliances, distribution channels, and proprietary data. This pivot from linear growth to network leverage separates scaling contenders from stagnant startups.
