# Fintech: 10 sub-niches to consider

> The most fragmented stack in tech. Every workflow has a niche player and a 'we'll get to it' incumbent.

Each entry below is a specific opportunity inside Fintech. We name public projects + categories as examples, never the founders we track inside the paid product.
