Growth marketing.
And growth capital.
Once we feel comfortable enough to invest our time on a marketing engagement, we’re normally also ready to invest capital, too.
Our thesis
The financial services industry is digitizing and becoming networked
The financial services industry is digitizing and becoming networked and it requires new, digital-age infrastructure:
- Embedded Finance solutions that orchestrate between regulated financial firms and the brands looking to offer financial services integrated into the customer proposition.
- Enterprise SaaS solutions that can enable incumbent financial institutions to digitize and innovate their existing business models – composable software platforms and AI solutions for automation and better decision-making.
- Infrastructure & Risk Management solutions that enable scalable, secure and compliant innovation regarding how individuals and institutions exchange and store value.
Marketing is a feature, not a bug
