case study

hi

You are the CEO of a fintech startup, Finto.AI, which transforms transaction data into behavioral financial insights. Congratulations on raising your seed financing and rounding out your team - you now have three engineers and a designer passionately delivering your vision. You've attracted the interest of several major financial institutions seeking to deliver your insights to their customers. At the same time, a proof-of-concept app that you launched to the app store is being downloaded more and more every week. Your small scrappy team doesn't have the bandwidth to do a full-scale consumer launch at the same time as building out a pilot integration with a top 5 bank. Your investors are pushing for a decision. Prepare a vision pitch that makes your investors dream and a plan that gives them confidence you can execute. ● What information do you need to make the strategic call and how will you get it? ● How will you validate that you made the right choice, directionally? ● What are the offering and the experience? Feel free to get creative. ● What prioritization principles are you applying to sequence the work? ● What leap of faith assumptions are you making that absolutely have to be true for your plan to succeed

Thank you for sharing this case study. If you are looking for feedback, feel free to post your approach/solution, and other coaches and myself will happily comment.

You cannot expect coaches to come here and solve the case for you.

Note, from my perspective, this is also a very atypical case that you probably would not encounter in a traditional MBB consulting interview. 

Best

Hi there,

I'm sorry but what exactly do you want us to do with this?

If you're looking for a framework feel free to propose one and we can comment on it!

You lost me at “You are the CEO” :) 

Not a case you would expert for a consulting interview for obvious reasons.
