Another (very) hard learned piece of advice for fintech start-ups; make sure everyone is on the exact same page about what a product “MVP” really means. You may be shocked to learn that what Product/Engineering considers “MVP” is not the same thing that Legal/Compliance considers “MVP”. Product/engineering, especially those not coming from regulated industries, often have very different ideas about what the MVP needs. In most of tech, getting the product just good enough, is exactly where you want to be, because you’ll quickly identity bugs and then fix them in the next sprint. In financial services, that can be a death blow. You double debit consumer accounts, or screw up interest rates, or can’t reconcile accounts while you’re testing and learning, the resources to clean up that mess often far outstrip the cost you would have spent making it near perfect ahead of time. So every Legal/Compliance team should have a discussion with their Product/Engineering colleagues and really ask what MVP means to them. You may be surprised at the answers. But better to be surprised today than surprised in the future, when it hurts a lot more. Trust me on this, I learned the hard way

Great day1 at Fintech meetup. Impressive keynote sessions, one of the best I have been to. Great stories, strong moderation, interspersed with good humor @Anil Aggarwal. Here’s a few notes I wrote down - 1. General sense of optimism especially If you listen to the speakers. Though have to add that the speakers, who primarily are entrepreneurs and/or VCs tend to be the optimistic bunch (and not to talk about optimism being self-serving). 2. However real issues around interest rates, reg. compliance and stressed consumer abound. Fintechs are changing business models (e.g., from issuers to BaaS, from product to platform), reducing burn, and hoping to survive till the weaker competition goes away and the capital comes back. 3. Share shift to fintechs will increase as we come back to normal from gold-rush covid days. Seeing strong traction in the Banks-fintech partnerships in the B2B. Deposits and payments, two hot topics - are areas where Fintechs (and big techs) are well placed to win. 4. While depressed valuation and lack of exits are hurting late stage fintechs, early stages are still doing fine. “Fastest start to the year with early stage startups” per Zachary Perret, CEO Plaid. Btw, he also said the “rate of death of startups has been 2X the normal” in the last 2 years. 5. And my favorite session on Financial Health, a key issue for lenders and regulators alike, led by our Chief Innovation Officer, Kathleen Peters What am I looking forward to today - 1. A topic near and dear to my heart - how AI is transforming Credit Lending - led by Experian’s Robert Boxberger III. An old topic, but still one of the highest impact areas - both from profit pools and financial inclusion perspective. 2. And 1:1 meetings with founders and practitioners; a mentor told me to think of these as speed dating with an expectation of a proposal at the end of it :)

Another ground floor IPO opportunity just opened up in one of the oldest industries that hasn’t had their revolution until now!

New Post: Envestnet Co-Founder Bill Crager To Step Down As CEO - Envestnet, Inc. today announced that Bill Crager will step down as CEO, effective March 31, according to a news release. Crager, who co-founded the financial technology firm with Jud Bergman in 1999, will transition to the role of senior advisor beginning in April. He will focus on client and partner relationships , “leaning in on key strategic initiatives, and continuing to be a visionary voice for the financial services industry,” the announcement said. Crager has been serving as the company’s CEO since Bergmann died in a car accident in October 2019. The release noted that Crager and Bergman “were among the first in the managed solutions industry to streamline independent advisors’ practices by offering a broad range of fee-based products side-by-side within an easily accessible, open-architecture portal,” and under Crager's leadership, it said, the company has grown into a leading managed solutions service provider with $5.4 trillion in client assets and served more than 107,000 advisors. “For more than 24 years, it has been my privilege and honor to work with Envestnet, creating an industry leader. We now serve more assets, more financial advisors, and more accounts than anyone in the marketplace,” Crager said in a statement. “ Together, we have built a more integrated, cohesive organization with a connected operating platform that provides a gateway to the future for the industry," he said. Crager added that this transition will give him "a front-row seat for our next chapter and I look forward to continuing our journey." Last year, Envestnet announced it would launch its own custodian platform and start to compete against Schwab, Fidelity and Pershing in that space. What the change in the CEO slot means for that venture is unclear. James L. Fox, board of directors’ chairman, will serve as interim CEO as of April 1, until a successor is in place, the release said, adding that the board will initiate a search with the help of an independent executive search firm and consider both internal and external candidates. Envestnet has been under pressure from activist investor Impactive Capital and others in recent years as it has acquired numerous fintech businesses, several of which have failed to meet profitability expectations. Recently, it has begun to explore asset divestitures. The company further noted that Tom Sipp, executive vice president, will continue to lead Envestnet's business lines partnering closely with Crager and Fox. #Env

Announcement 🎉: Ethos is out of stealth and is announcing their pre-seed round, led by us (Better Tomorrow Ventures) with participation from Capital One Ventures and a long list of notable angel investors. It was a real pleasure to have Jett Oristaglio and Mike Fotinakis join us for the first cohort of our pre-seed program, The Mint (quick plug - the next cohort starts in March! http://themint.vc). Witnessing their learning, adaptability, execution, and tea-making over the course of the program and in the time since has been a real treat :) Ethos ensures trust and compliance for AI and predictive algorithms in financial services. Banks rely on models for critical decisions, ranging from determining eligibility for financial services to making hiring and healthcare decisions. For instance, a bank might employ hundreds or even thousands of predictive models for crucial tasks such as loan underwriting and fraud detection. Management of these models is a costly affair- model validation and compliance teams are stretched thin, acting as a bottleneck to AI innovation in financial services. The process is heavily regulated, with existing regulators scrutinizing closely and new laws in the US and EU adding to the complexity. Any misstep in compliance can lead to severe regulatory sanctions. Enter Ethos! Ethos ensures that automated decisions are well-governed, trusted, and compliant. Their product features a flexible workflow engine that enables banks to track their models and business processes, automatically conducting essential tests for Model Performance, Explainability, and compliance with Fair Lending laws. The platform can then generate comprehensive compliance reports using our customizable editor, often spanning hundreds of pages, which are necessary for regulatory audits. It’s an awesome team. Jett brings many years of experience from DataRobot in Data Science and Product roles within their Trusted AI team and Mike is a seasoned engineering leader who founded and exited his last business, Percy to Browserstack. They are not only bright and curious but also genuinely great humans! If you are a bank and you think there is room to improve the way you manage your models used in decision-making, get in touch! They also will be looking for a founding software engineer to join the team shortly, so stay tuned for updates there.

Proof is currently at an all-time high. There is so much going well right now: the team is amazing, the product is working great, and by every metric — volume, revenue, pipeline, valuation, etc. — our business is in the best place it has ever been by far. In 2024, we absolutely need to keep our foot on the gas pedal. At an early stage startup like us, success is so fragile. On paper, we have done really well already, but if our growth falters or if we make one misstep, it can all disappear in an instant. The closer we get to achieving long-term viability, the more crushing it would be to fail, and not just for our own sake. At this point there are so many people that have made a bet on us to help us get to this point — employees, investors, clients — it would be devastating to let them all down. Even for an eternal optimist like myself, it is stressful building a new business from scratch. Way less stressful when things are going right, of course, but that pressure is still always with you. So right now we must stay vigilant and stay hungry. 2023 was our best year ever. 2024 will undoubtedly be make-or-break as well. We are fortunate to be starting off on the best foot possible, but there is a ton of hard work ahead. We have gotten here by being ourselves, building the type company we would want to work for, and building the type product we would want to use. None of that will change in 2024. Wish us luck! (Please see our full 5 year update below, with reflections on what has worked well, the unexpected challenges we have faced, and our upcoming goals for Q1 - thanks!) https://lnkd.in/gu_T6cEK

2moCan someone call me back please. I’ve submitted all my paperwork for a lease buyout. This process dates back to Nov 2023. My lease has matured and I’m trying to buyout my vehicle and Ally keeps giving me the run around with no solution. You have $31,000 of my money in a cashiers check and it’s still stuck in processing. I don’t understand what I need to do to get my truck back. Tom Keith 401-529-6468
