Fintech is just a sector (like FinServ, or Manufacturing, media, what have you) and there'll no doubt be some dubious businesses operating in that sector, but I'm sure most are legit. Best thing you can do to determine is look into the C-level team (CTO, CEO, CFO)/board of Directors and check with their history. Have they had previous companies like this that stopped operating? Do they even have a background in this space? Also check where the money is coming from - external investment, the board of directors' own pockets, organic growth? That'll give you a good idea on the face of it if they're the real deal. Hope that helped but let me know if you see anything possibly sketchy and you're not sure!

I'm asking that, because toymakers could partnership with them to make their toys more technologicals.
