In this episode, I am speaking with Mews' CEO Matt Welle about how his company is turning from a SaaS into a fintech business.

  • Mews targets hotels and provides them the technical backbone to operate. The startup is based in the Netherlands and achieved unicorn status in March 2024 with a $110 million fundraise.

  • Initially the company focused purely on SaaS and was collaborating with payment providers. When they understood the opportunity, they started to bring the payment stack in-house.

  • In recent years they added lending and are exploring a wide range of other financial services. Which ones? Listen to the podcast and find out.
