Quotes
“If you take a big step back—the world in general, even outside of financial services, is moving towards a more consumer-centric version of itself. And the big reason for that is that information is much more easily accessible.” – Anders Jones
“There are some people who are made for startups and there are others who would just find it horribly discombobulating. The way that I sort of think about it is that startups are a journey of discovery. You have to go through a lot of iterations and a lot of ups and downs.” – Anders Jones
