Unfortunately, Apple’s policies around cryptocurrencies, in-app purchases, and NFTs have negative implications for many FinTechs. Tune in today to hear an overview of those policies, examples of the issues that companies have run into as a result, and common mistakes that founders make when trying to defend themselves. 

Although I can’t do anything to change Apple’s approach, I can equip you with the knowledge you need to satisfy their requirements so that you can get your Apps approved. So, don’t miss out on the workshop I am running on the second of August that will focus on this topic!
