Join Pete and David as they dive into the world of FinTech & Entrepreneurship with Matthew Murphy, Early Stage Investor and General Partner at Montage Ventures.

Matthew took advantage of a sudden opportunity in his early 20's to join the rapidly growing FinTech startup, E-Trade, a decision that changed the trajectory of his life and career in the most unexpected way. We dive into some of Matthew’s incredible highs and difficult lows, discussing the resilience and work ethic it took to create a series of start-ups in a volatile industry, FinTech.

Learn about the art of the pivot, whether or not the snooze button is your friend, what being afraid to fail can do for your business, and why an overfunded startup can lead to a disaster. As a successful venture capitalist, Matthew offers advice on how a founder can best make initial contact for a pitch meeting, and why great leaders are the key to having great teams.

Matthew is also the owner of Unwritten Wines (https://unwrittenwines.com/) and encourages all listeners to use the code "Podcast" at checkout for a limited-time discount.
