Hello Fintech Friends,

For anyone in Dubai, I’ll see you soon at our first UAE Fintech Meetup 👋

For everyone in the states, I hope you’re getting a chance to enjoy great food, family, sleeping in, some A+ football matchups, early NBA season, leftovers, seeing your old high school friends, the end-of-year work wind-down, and being outdoors before it gets too cold.

Please find another week of fintech financing events below.
