Hello Fintech Friends,

Next week, I’ll be traveling to London for fintech meetings and we’ll be hosting a happy hour on Thursday, in partnership with Codat and Plaid, as well as a Women in Fintech Panel. Come join us!

The narrative says “no more money for fintech” but the numbers say 44 new fundraises for almost $1.5 billion this week.
