Good morning, Thirty-nine-year-old former United Nations analyst Shivani Siroya is passionate about solving big problems on a global scale. That’s why she founded the fintech company Tala in 2011 to lend money to consumers in developing countries who have little or no credit. Today, Tala has loaned billions of dollars to more than four million borrowers in India, Kenya, Mexico, and the Philippines. Siroya has been strategic about starting her business on three very different continents. "My goal was essentially not just to prove that we could be global, but to actually be in the flow of money," she says. But now she has concerns about experimenting with new credit products while continuing to grow Tala's core business. To figure out a path to expand Tala globally, authentically--and sustainably, Siroya sat down with venture investor and Lowercase Capital founder Chris Sacca to discuss. Check out the full story for Sacca’s sage advice on how to avoid the biggest growth pitfall. |
