Evaluation Criteria

Our evaluation of this submission is based on a set of transparent criteria built on top of a belief statement where we construct our understanding of the skills required to excel in the area under review.

Belief Statement

We believe that a potentially successful financial technology (fintech) company is one that has a believable business proposition in solving a real business need, with a potential to cause a fundamental transformation or disruption in the financial services industry and to generate scale across regions. Appropriate financial support from the right investors, as well as having an installed customer or user base are proofs of concept and important evidence that third parties have thoroughly evaluated the proposition and are willing stakeholders. In addition a robust execution capability, strong people commitment, ability to fund its growth trajectory and the drive and vision of the principle promoters are important consideration to its success.
