Why do so many Goldman Sachs alums start FinTechs? | Adam French, Scalable Capital
Scalable Capital Founder Adam French tells Lloyd Wahed how he went from a student at LSE to the founder of a wealthtech leader that partners with the world’s largest asset manager. So what accounts for Adam’s tremendous career growth? After interning with Goldman Sachs, he quickly moved up into director roles within the bank’s trading division. But his relentless pursuit of self-betterment led him to leave the investment giant to make a go of it with his four partners. Together, they founded Scalable Capital, a wealthtech company that boasts a $460 million valuation and a close partnership with BlackRock. On the podcast, Adam and Lloyd discuss the reason Scalable didn’t just focus on robo-advisors, the traits that make so many Goldman alums great founders and what it takes to raise funds for a new venture. Plus, Adam shares insights from his collaboration with BlackRock and explains why investing firms need to start targeting millennials.
