Hello Fintech Friends,

We had some exciting news for The Fintech Fund this week, as our portfolio company Ansa*, led by Sophia Goldberg and JT Cho, came out of stealth.

We've missed seeing all of our friends in LatAm fintech, and so we are coming back to Bogotá! Come join us on May 17th with our friends at CIM & AWS.

Thank you also to everyone who came out to this week's Bangalore Fintech Happy Hour, hosted by our Asia Editor Osborne Saldanha! Shout out to our partners at Falcon and Quicko for making it happen.
