Description
Listen to the story of Sam Ghiotti and Liam McCance from Habitto. Habitto is tapping into a shifting mindset in Japan, where decades of near-zero interest rates are giving way to a hunger for smarter money management. By offering higher yield savings accounts as an entry point, Habitto then guides users towards insurance and investment products, increasing customer lifetime value while helping them meet financial goals. Habitto is currently raising their Series A, co-led by a tier 1 global fintech investor, together with a local Japanese VC firm. The team's diverse expertise, blending global innovation with local know-how, positions Habitto uniquely in the Japanese market. At publication of this episode, Habitto is actively raising funds. Angel investors Natsuko Ideka and Samika Biswasroy join the Investor Talk at the end of this podcast (37:30). Hosted by Hester Spiegel and Maaike Doyer, founders of Epic Angels.
