1) Look up SoFi and see what it does.  It’s a tech start-up company

2) SoFi’s move to “start offering deposit accounts and debit cards” is classic innovator’s dilemma wherein a startup comes out with a disruptive innovation aimed at a market that is “unsophisticated audience” (students) and then moves up into more lucrative markets.  Do you understand the innovator’s dilemma?
