Podcast: Bootstrapping, Orchestration, and the Cost of Capital: A Founder’s Journey with José Manuel Peral Cortés

What happens when you bootstrap a payments startup ahead of its time, raise $25M, and then learn the hard way what strategic capital really means?

On this episode of the Scalepoint Podcast, I’m joined by Jose Manuel Peral Cortesé, co-founder of FinTK Consulting and formerly of Easy Payment Gateway—a company he scaled and sold to Global Payments Inc. after processing billions in volume.

We talk orchestration before it was a buzzword, misaligned investors, bootstrapped scrappiness, and why payments innovation is only just heating up—especially in Europe’s instant and stablecoin corridors.
