Industry Outlook

Disruptors Abound

It seems like every week a new payments company emerges to get into the space that has been disrupted by companies like Stripe, Square, and others.  That disruption, and the stagnation that preceded it, has created an interesting "arms race" in the payments industry for new novel ways to approach the industry.  I find that kind of innovation and creativity electric and am enthusiastic when I look at where the industry is heading broadly.

That said, let me describe for you, what I feel like the payments industry is looking for, and where companies can create competitive advantages.
