Grateful for Joey Mak, Salvador Dueñas, and the many others associated with Chicago:Blend. It’s been a privilege learning alongside this incredible cohort and VC community.

I believe the future is bright for Fintech and now, more than ever, there’s a need for a level of innovation in that space that is driven by positive consumer outcomes and ripe with actual financial best practices. As my dear friend, Matt Wallaert, would say: “Start At the End [Desired Outcome].”

My presentation emphasizes the need to support Fintech Infrastructure as a catalyst for Fintech innovation. We cover the Fintech Tech-Stack and how certain forces are making it evolve to a new dynamic. Finally, I offer investment themes and focus areas that take advantage of this thesis for all to benefit.
