Brett Shanley is the Founder & CEO of Knoma, which stands for 'The Knowledge Market'. This FinTech business offers  an ethical finance solution and marketplace for people looking to future proof their career or move into new areas of work via digital courses. 
In this episode, Brett explains how he started Knoma after returning from Australia, with no contacts, no network and no prior technical experience... He dives into the challenges of being a non-technical solo Founder and hiring for technical roles, as well as approaching investment & debt for a product with no userbase.
Brett also talks us through how Knoma is utilising open banking to change the future of education and better inform students on their future career prospects.
