Finance as a Service: Buy + Build Strategy – Creating Amazing Customer Experiences and Services

Updated: November 11, 2021

Bill Klein, President of Consero, is an entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience with technology and services organizations ranging from startups to large organizations. He speaks with Anand Krishnan, Managing Partner of Thinkbridge, seed investor, and technologist who is specifically focused on helping growth stage companies become technology companies.

In this discussion, Bill and Anand discuss how businesses can keep up with the number of software platforms that are required to run a typical business, yet provide amazing customer and employee experiences. They also explore Consero’s SIMPL platform for Finance as a Service. The SIMPL platform abstracts the complexities of using multiple platforms and people powered services, to deliver a simplified and targeted user experience.
