Building the world’s best forward deployed fintech consulting firm: M7
The Next Generation of Fintech
Markets don’t scale on product alone. They scale on trust, which is earned, narrative, which is built out over long periods of time, and distribution, which takes strategic planning.
I’ve spent over a decade building global financial communities and helping transform investing platforms from niche forums into category-defining ecosystems.
At Stocktwits, for example, I was apart of the founding team that created the cashtag we all know today such as $AAPL or $BTC. At TradingView, I was one of the first US hires based in New York City as it evolved into one of the most widely used charting platforms in the world, valued at $3B+, accelerating global adoption across retail and professional traders.
Today, through Merchant Seven, we embed directly inside fintech teams to architect growth from within. We’re doers. We work directly alongside teams. We’re not powerpoint decks, but forward-deployed execution where real decisions happen. This is why we’re different from other consulting firms that live by PowerPoints and PDFs.
We directly help founders clarify positioning, build revenue engines, align product with narrative, accelerate partnerships, and construct community flywheels that compound over time.
