Erik is joined by Howard Lindzon (@howardlindzon), GP at Social Leverage and co-founder and chairman of StockTwits, and Sheel Mohnot (@pitdesi), FinTech investor at 500 Startups.

- Why incumbents like Google and Amazon have done a poor job in FinTech.
- Why Howard likes companies that have “weird angles of attack” into a market.
- Their thoughts on ISAs.
