Post by Scalable Capital

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a Fintech Ladies event right here at our Scalable Capital Munich office. At Scalable, our core mission is to empower everyone to become an investor. However, true financial democratisation means actively breaking down the barriers that still keep too many women away from wealth creation. To achieve this, we need strong networks, visible role models, and honest conversations. That’s exactly why the exchange we had during the event was so vital. After an engaging round of introductions, the evening offered some unfiltered insights: Our very own Christopher Weiland, Head of Principal Trading, gave a transparent look behind the curtain, sharing the founding story and some inevitable startup "fuck-ups" along the way, before diving deep into the mechanics of Scalable's role as a market maker. Katharina Brunsendorf, Head of Content, took the floor to share her career journey, sparking a crucial conversation about the importance of women participating in the capital markets, as well as the differences in investment patterns between men and women. We need more spaces for this kind of authentic exchange. Celebrating successes is brilliant, but sharing the hurdles – and how to overcome them – is what truly drives individuals and our industry forward. A massive thank you to all the participants for the fantastic energy and the invaluable networking. Let's keep building a financial world that works for everyone. 🚀 👇 Over to you: What is one piece of advice you would give to people taking their first steps in the capital markets or the fintech industry?
