Grow VC Group
Global leader in enabling technology and data for FinTech

Fintech, crowdfunding and digital business

Grow VC Group Works with Industry Leaders
4
We go to distributed data oriented empowering finance
1. Development from big black boxes (like banks or their IT) to
distributed services and solutions
■ More targeted services, including finance services integrated to other
services like lending to e-commerce
■ Distributed ledger, open APIs, back office as a service, and new data
models
2. Data must be enabler, not only optimizer
■ End-users must get concrete immediate value from data, not only that
companies use them to optimize their own business
■ For example, it is not only a bank optimizes an interest rate based on
customer’s risk, but the customer can get an optimal solution for its
finance needs
3. Distributed power
■ Banks and finance institutions used to dominate the finance business,
but new solutions distribute the power to many service providers and
to customers, as we have seen in media and retail digital disruption
■ It is about business models and culture, but also about IT, new
technology enables new models, main frames are dead
Reality versus cheap talk
1. AI is more data analytics and supporting tools than human looking
robots
■ People often think intelligence is like being a human, although the reality is
more complex
■ Now AI is especially advanced data analytics, machine learning and tools to
make decisions from data
2. Blockchain as a concept is more important as a database
■ Blockchain is a concept and model to store data and transactions, but it is
not yet a full software stack to replace databases for larger amount of data
■ Actual solutions need additional software layers and there are also smart
ways to combine databases and blockchain layers
3. PSD2 opens regulated components and data, but banking IT services
are not so relevant
■ Bank’s IT is old fashion and also business risk for new companies to be
dependable on banks
■ Access to regulated components and data open competition
CASE 1: Crowd Valley back office for services and data
Data based lending services on Crowd Valley back office
CASE 2: Prifina – consumers manage their own data
Prifina – empower users with own data

  • 5. We go to distributed data oriented empowering finance 1. Development from big black boxes (like banks or their IT) to distributed services and solutions ■ More targeted services, including finance services integrated to other services like lending to e-commerce ■ Distributed ledger, open APIs, back office as a service, and new data models 2. Data must be enabler, not only optimizer ■ End-users must get concrete immediate value from data, not only that companies use them to optimize their own business ■ For example, it is not only a bank optimizes an interest rate based on customer’s risk, but the customer can get an optimal solution for its finance needs 3. Distributed power ■ Banks and finance institutions used to dominate the finance business, but new solutions distribute the power to many service providers and to customers, as we have seen in media and retail digital disruption ■ It is about business models and culture, but also about IT, new technology enables new models, main frames are dead
  • 6. Reality versus cheap talk 1. AI is more data analytics and supporting tools than human looking robots ■ People often think intelligence is like being a human, although the reality is more complex ■ Now AI is especially advanced data analytics, machine learning and tools to make decisions from data 2. Blockchain as a concept is more important as a database ■ Blockchain is a concept and model to store data and transactions, but it is not yet a full software stack to replace databases for larger amount of data ■ Actual solutions need additional software layers and there are also smart ways to combine databases and blockchain layers 3. PSD2 opens regulated components and data, but banking IT services are not so relevant ■ Bank’s IT is old fashion and also business risk for new companies to be dependable on banks ■ Access to regulated components and data open competition
