The FinTech Scaling Challenge

Regulatory Complexity

As you scale, regulatory requirements become more complex and compliance more resource-intensive.

Impact: Growth constrained by compliance capacity

Common Stage: $8-25M revenue when entering new regulatory environments

Acquisition Cost Pressure

Competitive landscape and cautious customers drive up acquisition costs in financial services.

Impact: Unsustainable CAC with pressure on unit economics

Common Stage: $10-30M revenue when initial channels saturate

Trust and Security Scaling

Security and trust requirements increase exponentially with customer growth.

Impact: Resource conflicts between growth and security

Common Stage: $15-40M revenue when handling increased transaction volume

Legacy Integration Complexity

Scaling requires deeper integration with legacy financial systems and institutions.

Impact: Technical complexity slowing growth velocity

Common Stage: $20-50M revenue when expanding product capabilities

Multi-Market Regulatory Variation

Expansion into new markets requires navigation of different regulatory environments.

Impact: Diluted focus, compliance challenges, market entry delays

Common Stage: $25-75M revenue when expanding geographically
