Spriggy Brings Home the Bacon

Pocket money super-app Spriggy looks set for rapid expansion after banking $35m in its Series B funding round, led by NAB Ventures.

The app, which helps families manage money movement by awarding pocket money and rewarding chores whilst empowering children to start managing their money responsibly with a debit card, enjoys a rapidly loyal following amongst its 500,000 family user base.

This user base will likely provide the leverage for new product initiatives, as users progress on their family financial journeys into a broader range of financial tools.

The Great Redundancy?

Fed up with the great resignation? How hard it is out there to find people? Is it a lack of talent? Big tech hoarding? Overinflated salaries? Big tech are secretly laying off up to 30% of staff, managing reduced valuations and increasing costs. This trickles down to startups as a resetting of valuations and raises. Fintech's will need to do more with less. But as the great resignation turns into the great redundancy, maybe the gravy train is over. Can Fintech pickup talent searching for a new home? Perhaps, but there might be a slight re-adjustment on salary expectations.https://www.smartcompany.com.au/opinion/adam-schwab-tech-layoffs-jobs/
