This Week in Fintech (9/10)

This Week in Fintech (9/10)

Hello Fintech Friends,

📰 We had a lot of news across The Fintech Fund portfolio this week! Griffin launched its new Verify BaaS identity API, Let’sBit’s concept card is now out in the wild, and Stitch announced their Stitch Scale Summit in Cape Town from October 13th-14th.

🌉 It was great seeing everyone in SF last night enjoying the hot weather! Thank you to sponsors M13, SVB, and Modern Treasury.

🥂 (If we missed you last night, it’s not too late to see you at this year’s Fintech Formal on Nov 11th.)

📄 We’d also love to know how we can improve This Week in Fintech. Our team put together a quick survey to understand (1) what you like about our content, (2) what’s still missing, (3) what, if anything, you would change. Let us know what we can improve!
