Alex Mifsud is the CEO & Founder at embedded finance disruptor Weavr – who recently raised a $40m Series A led by Tiger Global. Other investors include QED, Anthemis, LocalGlobe, Mubadala Capital and Seedcamp.

Alex walked me through his:

• journey from academia to tech entrepreneurship
• learnings - including "how to go as fast as possible without the wheels coming off"!
• product philosophy: "put yourself in the shoes of customers and start designing the solution you would love to have if you were them"
• views on hiring & diversity: “the danger of cloning versus the danger of lone wolves”
• perspectives on the challenges of being a tech entrepreneur: “if it were a very straight line it would be a really boring job”!
