Fireside chat with Philip Belamant, Founder & CEO of Zilch

Did you know that millennials choose Zilch over traditional credit cards? Philip Belamant, Founder & CEO of Zilch, successfully launched a consumer product in just one year and blitzscaled it in the second year, growing the team by an impressive 5x in 2020. Within the same timeframe Zilch received an FCA license and raised $40m from high profile investors, including Gauss Ventures and Simon Nixon, the founder of Moneysupermarket.com.

The Entrepreneurship Club and the Finance Club are excited to host Philip in a fireside chat moderated by Alex Tazov. Zilch is a disruptive By Now Pay Later (“BNPL”) startup which combines the best features of credit cards and interest-free instalment financing for customers to pay over time. Zilch is the only BNPL provider with an FCA license. Founded in late 2018, the company is now growing by 100K customers a month!

Philip will share with us his entrepreneurial story which includes: the first experience in the strartup world in Africa, moving from his home country of South Africa to the UK to leverage the changing fintech regulation for his next venture, operating in a stealth mode to build a product, creating a USP by partnering with Mastercard, building an MVP, finding a product-market fit, raising capital and much more! In addition to that we'll learn how a BNPL business model is different from that of a bank. Don't miss the opportunity and sign up on Campus Groups.
