"Founders are going to have to make decisions on the economics of their business. Am I buying AI tokens or am I paying for labour?" That was a key question raised by George Rzepecki, Founder of The Raba Partnership, at our Currency Cape Town 2026 Summit. George explored how AI is reshaping fintech and venture capital, as well as the broader fintech opportunity in emerging markets.
