Are fintech bootcamps worth it in 2025?

    Decide this with numbers, not vibes. If the key metric doesn’t move in 14 days, revert. The real cost driver was reprocessing, not inference.

    Adding a datapoint from a Series A fintech I advised. Watch hidden dependencies that slow audits. A thin rules layer filtered 80% of noisy alerts.

    Counterpoint based on what stuck in reality. Ignore shiny features until you validate ROI. Negotiate support SLAs; they beat shiny features in crunch time.
