Episode description
Yep, this one has to do with Bitcoin. Pavel Matveev is the Founder and CEO of Wirex, a London-based global cryptocurrency payment platform, that is also the largest of its kind. In 2020, they launched a wait-list for a multicurrency (crypto and fiat currency) card with support from Mastercard, marking a big step in the evolution of cryptocurrencies from the margins to the mainstream. Pavel Matveev has been around to witness the evolution, as well as to navigate in and contribute to the field as an entrepreneur. In this episode, we got to pick his brain.
Expect to learn:
- Pavel’s insights into being a first mover in a field with no competition
- How to deal with the skepticism of founding a company that deals with cryptocurrencies
- How did Wirex spread to over 100 countries in only a few years
- What was Pavel’s approach to building and maintaining the company culture while growing up to 200 employees.
