​Growing and Scaling a Consumer Finance Application

Brian Barnes M1 - U.S. Fintech Symposium

​Presentation Date & Time:
October 21, 2021
1:00 PM CST
​

Presenter Information:
Name: Brian Barnes
Organization: M1 Finance

Presentation Description:
Brian Barnes was passionate about investing long before founding M1 Finance in 2015. After buying his first stock at the age of 10, investing became a hobby and a passion. However, after college, he discovered that although he loved investing, he hated the process. And, that is when M1 was born. M1 is a consumer finance application that that allows for Smart Money Management tool, allowing people from all walks of life to build and easily manage wealth.
 
In his talk, Brian will discuss M1's learnings from breaking into the financial services industry, which has operated the same way for many years, with a high-tech solution. From working with regulatory bodies,  banks, and Venture Capitalists to supporting users to gain trust in, use, and ultimately switch from their dated brokerages to this new product, M1 has forged a path that will ultimately change how the financial services industry does business. Now, with over a billion dollars in AUM and over half a million active users, Brian will also discuss the strategies and approach to scaling an application, along with predictions for the finance industry as technology moves forward.
