#136 - Future-proof finances with a purpose, Bastian Krautwald, wajve

So how well you communicate your purpose is becoming a main differentiator for companies targeting this group. Still, so far very few fintechs have created financial products for the next generation of customers. <a href="//linkedin.com/in/bastian-krautwald-56b2b1b1" target="_blank">Bastian Krautwald'</a>s company is one of the few exceptions. While still a student, he founded "deineStudienfinanzierung", a platform for student loans with David Meyer. It even got them into "Die Höhle der Löwen“ (Germany’s „Shark Tank“). With their new product <a href="https://www.wajve.com" target="_blank">Wajve</a>, the two founders raised 5 million in seed capital last year. The funding is intended to accelerate the roll-out of the platform for the first customers in Germany before it expands into other European markets.</p> <p>Tune into an episode in which Oliver and Bastian discuss and analyse</p> <p>😇 How to create the perfect message-market-fit for a specific audience</p> <p>😎 How PR gets easier with a simple mindset shift</p> <p>😅 What competitive sports have in common with entrepreneurship</p> <p>And much more!</p> <p>Enjoy the episode and support the podcast by posting your review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/speak-like-a-ceo/id1441419535 " target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a>.</p> <p>Connect with Oliver on LinkedIn: <a href="http://linkedin.com/in/oliver-aust">linkedin.com/in/oliver-aust</a></p> <p>This episode is brought to you by <a href="https://heyviz.com" target="_blank">HeyViz, your rapid content production studio in Berlin.</a></p>
