Documented cause
Fisdom built a B2B2C wealth management platform targeting bank customers and retail investors in India. With $15M raised it served over 300 bank partnerships. But Groww, Zerodha, and Paytm Money poured hundreds of millions into direct-to-consumer stock and mutual fund investing, making B2B2C distribution suddenly obsolete. Fisdom was acquired at a steep discount in 2023.
Lesson
“Wealth platforms with bank dependencies must develop direct channels in parallel — intermediaries lose leverage when funded alternatives emerge.”
