Great speaking with Sara Khairi at Tearsheet about Fin Capital's Fintech CEO Pulse Report and how fintech CEOs are navigating challenges and opportunities in the current market.
Check out the full article and a wealth of insights from the report through the links in the comments ⬇️
👀 Spotted in Fortune's CFO Daily: The Fintech CEO Pulse Report
"More than 60% of fintech CEOs are bullish for the second half of 2024, according to a survey of 50 industry C-suite leaders conducted by venture capital firm Fin Capital. They did flag headwinds such as a weak IPO environment and macroeconomic volatility, with the latter apparent Friday as stocks plunged following a weak jobs report."
“This sets the stage for sustained innovation and expansion throughout the remainder of 2024,” said Fin Capital founder Logan Allin, “going into what should be a far more favorable environment in 2025 for geopolitical stability, liquidity—M&A and IPO activity—and financing volumes.”
