About

I'm Shivam Agarwal, currently working in the Founder’s Office for Business & Strategy at Signzy. My career has been driven by a deep interest in the intersection of finance, technology, and regulation—from my roots as a CFA charterholder to building GTM strategies that scaled insurance partnerships to a $100M potential. At Signzy, I focus on growth and market expansion for our AI-powered identity verification platform. I’m passionate about solving the 'friction' problem in fintech; I believe the future isn't about more security steps, but better orchestration and intelligence to enable seamless, 2-second onboarding. Whether it's discussing the nuances of KYB standardization or catching up at a Fintech Premier League match, I’m always looking to connect with compliance leaders and founders who are moving the needle in banking infrastructure and fraud prevention.

Opinions

Adding more steps to a fraud strategy is a losing battle; focus should be on orchestration + intelligence for 2-second onboarding.
Trust is still the bottleneck for AI in fraud and underwriting within regulated industries.
Lack of standardization in US Secretary of State searches is a major scalability hurdle for KYB.
Strong professional ecosystems are built through genuine camaraderie rather than just boardrooms.
