FinTech unicorns are taking out some BIG bank Donkeys

ByBizMan

Here’s a great InfoGraphic about the FinTech market and the unicorns ($2B startups) that are hanging out, and disrupting, in the Financial space.
Natania K brought it up on LinkedIn:

I love this “Innovation Map” and the unicorns are proof positive that the addressable market of some of the slices of new Fin Services are addressable and viable (now or soon). So the trillion dollar question is: what does the brick and mortar (BnM) have in store. BnM are looking in the rear-view mirror, and they have low visibility of the future. The reason that they have low visibility, is because — after a couple hundred years of doing business in the office — it is hard to change the stripes on a donkey.

But the changes they are a come’n, and the storefronts will be a closing.
FinTech unicorns are going to be taking out some BIG bank Donkeys that are hanging out on every major business corner.
What do you think, what FinTech services are most disruptive?

    Business method patent issuance has plummeted since Alice | Managing Intellectual Property

    Business method patent issuance has plummeted since Alice | Managing Intellectual Property: Trends in Business method patents has seriously dropped since the Supreme Court ruled on the Alice v CLS Bank case in June. The court ruled that an abstract idea is not necessarily a business method and saying that it will be done on computers (network/cloud) doesn’t assure it to be a valid claim either. This ruling knocks back business method (and software patents). So the…
