Investor Scale Podcast – Episode: Building a FinTech Powerhouse with Myles Stephenson, Co-Founder of Modulr
In this episode of the Investor Scale Podcast, host Ewan Anderson sits down with Myles Stephenson, Co-Founder of Modulr, one of the UK’s leading embedded payments providers. Myles shares the story of building Modulr from the ground up—starting with the irony of struggling to open a bank account, to raising over £150 million in funding, and now scaling towards profitability and global expansion.
We explore how Modulr found product-market fit, built long-term investor relationships, and navigated the challenges of aligning values and ambitions across different funding rounds. Myles also offers candid insights into the differences between UK, European, and US investors, and what it takes to build a resilient FinTech business in a regulated environment.
This episode is packed with practical takeaways for founders, investors, and anyone involved in scaling high-growth tech companies, especially those building from Scotland with global ambitions.
