For those who (as I) believe that FinTech is one of a few segments where there is the biggest potential for startups to create value here is a good statistics about the number of StartUps in key FinTech segments.

As you can see, Lending (activated by Lending Club) and Payments (traditionally) are the two most popular segments.

Here is another interesting analysis of the possible areas for FinTech startups in the coming decades:
- Lending Club, etc.
- Automatic mortgage and credit card scoring
- Online brokers
- Robo-advisors
- Crowdfunding (SeedInvest and Fundable, will offer equity ownership to those who throw money into the ring.)
- Sell equities to consumers

The Uberization of Money

Over the next decade, the familiar 20th-century modes of banking and investing will give way to something very different. We are on the verge of the Uberization of finance, which will bring multiple new opportunities but also a range of new risks.
