Fintech
Financial firms of all stripes are just beginning to become more responsive to consumers and take the long-view. We are investing in banking, lending, market, and insurance companies that harness technology to deliver more human-centered products and services. With transparency, security, and resilience as defining characteristics, we envision a more responsive financial system designed to serve all stakeholders over the long-term.
