Matt Potere, CEO of Sunlight Financial (www.sunlightfinancial.com), continues with our discussion from last week.  For this episode, though, I wanted to explore some of the Charlotte startup scene with Matt.

We talk about the following today:

What’s the growth path for Sunlight Financial – does the market get saturated soon or do they have a long run?

Is lending an area of strength for startups here in Charlotte?

Why it’s important to celebrate startup failures as much as successes.

Matt talks about Payzer (www.payzer.com) and Health Credit Services (www.hcsloans.com)

Can Charlotte overcome its name as a banking town and become a startup location?

The impact HQ Charlotte, Dan Roselli and QC Fintech (www.qcfintech.co) have had on the scene here.

What’s the company culture like at Sunlight Financial?

Is there a founders network forming yet?

And much more.

We’ve also got some great podcasts coming up as we talk with Amber Lewis from The Good Kitchen (www.thegoodkitchen.com) and explore cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and ethereum.
