Quick answers
What is Nabi Awada known for?
Founding Kartera, an alternative payments network that settles between US bank accounts in real time. Before that he was Global Chief Product Officer at Rappi and a product principal at Revolut and Monzo.
What did Nabi Awada do before Kartera?
He ran Rappi's fintech arm, building four banks across Latin America, and was earlier a product principal at Revolut and Monzo. He started at PayPal at 16, before eBay acquired it.
What did Nabi Awada say about pivoting?
That Kartera's real product was a small piece of what it first built. It started as banking-as-a-service for card issuance, then found that its 100% real-time US payment rail was the thing customers wanted — and scrapped the rest.
