Hello Fintech Friends,

We’re starting a new series to amplify the work of fintechies who have been historically underrepresented in the start-up ecosystem, especially those who are black, indigenous, and people of color.

Please help us by submitting your favorite people to our Overlooked Operators, Founders, and Investors nomination form!

Please find another week of fintech financing events below.

If you’re an early-stage startup founder raising equity or debt, we may be able to help - come check out our fund, The Fintech Fund (including a link to pitch us) and see our primer on how we make introductions to friendly VCs and debt providers.
