From Farming Dreams to Building a Global Digital Bank for Africa

At the Inclusive Fintech Forum 2026 in Kigali, CXO Conversations host Pat Patel speaks with Nicolai, co-founder of Nala, about his unconventional journey from a Waldorf school upbringing in the US - where he later dreamed of becoming a dairy farmer - to fintech entrepreneurship. He shares how early experiences in economics, Morningstar, and payments shaped his interest in financial systems and inclusion. The conversation explores Nala’s startup struggles, co-founder transitions, and product evolution through Y Combinator and beyond. They also discuss stablecoins, cross-border payments, and the future of global financial infrastructure, with Nala aiming to become a global digital bank by 2030.
