Alex Kutsishin is one of the reasons why I'm so excited about the rapidly emerging field of finance technology.
Called "fintech" for short, this is an area that will touch virtually every aspect of the $70 trillion global economy over the next several years.
By definition, every single transaction involves some sort of payment. Increasingly, those payments are moving to digital systems – and eventually virtually all of them will get there.
And that means every aspect of finance today – from hedge funds to bond management to buying a pack of gum at your corner market – is ripe for tech disruption.
That innovation is coming from savvy entrepreneurs like Alex Kutsishin, the CEO and founder of fintech startup Sales Boomerang, which focuses on helping banks plug billions in home-loan leaks.
I recently spent a couple hours talking with Kutsishin on a flight home from Baltimore to Silicon Valley.
I found his spiel so fascinating – and potentially lucrative – that I leaned in and listened closely.
Today I'll introduce Kutsishin and Sales Boomerang to you folks.
Unfortunately, his company is privately held and you can't invest in it… yet.
But I have found a great way you can play the red-hot fintech trend.
