Fintech Leaders

Miguel Armaza sits down with the talented Mary Ann Azevedo, Senior Reporter at TechCrunch, where she’s responsible for covering all things Fintech, co-hosts the Friday episode of the Equity Podcast, and recently launched the newsletter The Interchange.
In this episode, we discuss:

• Why she loves covering the startup world and some tips on how to pitch your story to tech reporters
• The summer slowdown and fall bounce back. Deal activity during the summer was definitely slower, but according to Mary Ann she’s now as busy as ever, yet some things have changed.
• 2022 has been a hard year for fintech and Mary Ann has found herself writing some tough stories. What has she learned in the process?
• The future of tech media, what good journalism really means… and a lot more!
