Fintech Founders Book Hits Top of Financial Technology Chart

Jan 16, 2020 By Kerry Langstaff Categories - Industry Trends, Company News, Inside Xignite

FinTech Founders Book

Fintech Founders has hit best-selling ranking in four different Amazon categories. The book is written by best-selling author Agustin Rubini, author of Fintech in a Flash and provides 100 lessons from successful fintech entrepreneurs which will help the reader understand the challenges and opportunities of applying technology and collaboration to solve problems in the financial services industry. You can purchase the book on Amazon.

Xignite CEO Stephane Dubois was interviewed for the book - read this excerpt from his chapter on how Xignite was created: "I originally started Xignite initially to create a wealth management software solution, but I didn’t get much traction doing this as it was a little early for wealth management software at the time. We needed market data to power our wealth management solution. We needed data to demonstrate the solution, and the financial data that was available from legacy systems like Thomson Reuters (now Refinitiv) and Bloomberg was very complex, very cumbersome, and very expensive. So, we had the idea of, “Let’s create an API”, which was a very novel concept at the time."
