UBX, UnionBank’s fintech spinoff, has launched the Tito Tech podcast, offering fresh and candid takes on business and technology in the Philippines and beyond. Hosted by Mario Domingo, the Global Chief Technology Officer of UBX and your go-to “Tito” for all things tech, the podcast simplifies both viral trends like artificial intelligence and big tech and complex issues such as cybersecurity and data privacy. Each episode will deliver “edtertaining” (a blend of educational and entertaining) content in easily digestible segments.
In the first episode of Tito Tech: “Running a Tech Company is Hard”, Mario delves into the essential know-hows for running a successful tech startup. Drawing from his entrepreneurial experience since 2013, Mario emphasizes the importance of fostering a culture of winning and resilience in the Filipino context, despite the challenges posed by traditional cultural values.
He also highlights the balance between innovation and financial prudence, emphasizing the necessity of bootstrapping and avoiding the pitfalls of early tech adoption. The episode concludes with a question from a fellow founder where listeners can get insights on the pros and cons of being a first mover versus a fast second in investing money in emerging technologies.
