    10 Fintech Startups to Watch

    Business, finance and marketing positions are changing every day. Industries across the globe are growing faster than ever before, and as sectors of the economy continue to globalize and adopt new technologies, it can sometimes be hard to keep up. This is especially true when it comes to fintech startups.  

    While older corporations are often able to embrace change and stay relevant, there is always the risk of being replaced or surpassed by new companies. Hundreds of startups — all looking to change, better or disrupt their respective industries – are formed every year, and a few of these eventually break through and become a household name, erupting onto the scene and changing their industry forever. 

    Below are 10 different fintech startups in the business, finance, sales or marketing sectors that we think are worth keeping an eye on. Who knows, you may end up working for one of these companies some day! Or perhaps you’ll start your own company and change the face of business as we know it. Either way we hope that these startups on the forefront of the corporate world spark your imagination and get you excited about your future in business!
