SC VENTURES
“ I think we could have a lot of impact in the ESG space because financial institutions have lots of data ”
THORSTEN NEUMANN CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER , SC VENTURES
Partners drive the future of fintech innovation Another key insight from Neumann is that SC Ventures consciously seeks to work with numerous partners to diversify their delivery capability – from geographic coverage , to accessing best talent , and neurodiversity . As the CVC prefers to de-risk outright hiring during the early stage of venture building , the preference is for the engineering to be facilitated by SC Venture ’ s partner ecosystem thereby giving the platform optionality .
SC Ventures has worked with reputable names as part of its wider partner ecosystem , including firms cited by Neumann , such as Zuhlke , Hi Mum ! Said Dad , NESS Digital Engineering , and FPT Software . These partners are not competing for work but rather find themselves collaborating with SC Ventures , and even each other , on provocative , innovative ideas .
" Zühlke is a very special kind of innovation partner — in that we really look to them for high quality , high calibre expertise in bringing sustainable innovation to market success . We work together to design , build and launch next-generation solutions like digital banks with Mox in Hong Kong and the new Trust Bank in Singapore ," says Neumann . " Collaborating with partners like Zühlke has enabled us to deliver impactful value with speed and operate at scale after market launch to respond to customer needs for simpler , better banking ."
