The below interview came through my inbox via This Week in Fintech- one of my favorite reads every week! Fascinating interview about the future of fintech and given my personal focus on partnering with FI's around the country, the below quote certainly resonated. As we are meeting with FI's around the country, I can validate that many are wrestling with how they balance the need for partners with the complexity of managing them- something all fintechs will need to take into account when designing their programs. "Moreover, large financial institutions are increasingly aware that many of the technologies they’ll need going forward needn’t be built in-house. Instead, they can be addressed more quickly by third-party firms." David Haber, Andreeson Horowitz https://lnkd.in/gSEiDgKc

Looking ahead, we believe that there are opportunities for growth and innovation in fintech, especially in payments, climate fintech, and alternative investments.

The Power of the Pack: Why Fintech VC is Embracing Collaboration The era of the lone wolf VC is fading. Today's savvy investors are recognizing that the future of fintech lies in the power of the pack. Here's why collaboration is the new currency in venture capital: > Collective Strength: By pooling resources and diversifying risk, co-investments and syndicates are enabling VCs to make bolder, more strategic bets on emerging fintech companies. > Amplified Expertise: Collaboration isn't just about money; it's about pooling knowledge, insights, and networks. This collective intelligence is a force multiplier, driving better decision-making and accelerating growth. > Ecosystem Building: Collaborative VCs understand that the success of any individual fintech is intertwined with the health of the entire ecosystem. By working together, they can foster a thriving environment that supports innovation, attracts talent, and propels the industry forward. The future of fintech isn't about going it alone; it's about harnessing the power of the collective. https://lnkd.in/ePBpjWM6 #fintech #venturecapital #TwentyFold #fintechVC #collaboration
