The last few years have been interesting for Fintech as we've seen both startups and established companies start to rethink the financial industry in order to adapt to a world that was rapidly changing thanks to crypto, blockchain, and the pandemic.
Related resource: 14 FinTech Startups Shaping the Future of Finance
Relevant trends from the past few years include:
- A surge in investments and interest in crypto and blockchain
- Financial services and products broadened as more partnerships were created thanks to embedded banking
- A shift from legacy infrastructures to core banking systems
- Fintech’s reach expanded to regions of the world that needed it most due to broken financial systems such as Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America
- There was a focus on innovation and global opportunities from VC’s and companies who are looking to take advantage of the increasing need for change within the Fintech industry
Recent Investment highlights: (source)
- “Record number of fintech deals drives total investment to $210 billion in 2021”
- “Blockbuster year for crypto and blockchain, with $30 billion in investment globally”
- “‘Buy now, pay later’ space seeing large deals across jurisdictions”
- “Increasing focus on core banking replacements”
- “PE investment in fintech space more than doubles previous high”
What we can take away from this is that fintech is emerging to be the leading sector within investments and 2022 will be a year of increased optimism and interest not only within Fintech but subsectors (such as Defi), which are well positioned to keep evolving and make a huge impact on the world and the financial system as we know it. There is a huge need for modernizing core banking platforms and even replacing banking systems- making it the best time to launch a fintech startup as well as invest in one.
TechCrunch conducted interviews with some of the top VCs within the fintech space and said the two biggest topics that are spiking the interest of investors are crypto and Latin America investments. Others have said that there is also an increasing interest in B2B payments, BNPL (buy now, pay later platforms), embedded services (embedded lending, embedded insurance and embedded capital markets businesses- source).

Exploring Founder <> Investor Relationships with the Thrive Through Connection Podcast
Beyond pitch decks, valuations, term sheets, and growth rates, fundraising is about relationships. Behind every round of capital is a series of conversations, introductions, and partnerships that result from human-to-human connection. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our new podcast season, Thrive Through Connection, a series dedicated to exploring the human side of fundraising.
Why Thrive Through Connection
We’ve seen firsthand that at the center of successful startups, good old-fashioned relationship building consistently shows up, because founders don’t raise capital in a vacuum. They rely on their teams, peers, and investors to navigate the ups and downs of building something from nothing.
Thrive Through Connection highlights the relationships that fuel the growth of both founders and investors. We candidly discuss what it really takes to raise venture capital, including the setbacks, tactics, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
What to Expect
Each episode features real stories and actionable insights from founders and investors, from first-time founders reflecting on closing their first round to seasoned investors sharing what they look for in a deal. Every conversation is packed with lessons you can apply to your fundraising journey.
The First Episodes
We’ve got three episodes to get things started, and we’re excited to continue recording and publishing new episodes throughout the year. Check out the first three below:
Finding the Right Investors with Laurel Hess
On the first episode of the Thrive Through Connection Podcast, we welcome Laurel Hess, the CEO and Founder of hampr. Laurel has raised over $10M for hampr across multiple rounds. She joins us to share her journey and the importance of building genuine relationships with investors.
Navigating Investor Relationships with Brett Brohl
On the second episode of the Thrive Through Connection Podcast, we welcome Brett Brohl, Managing Partner at Bread & Butter Ventures. Brett joins us to dive deep into all things founder fundraising, sharing tactical advice on everything from cold outreach to evaluating if an investor is a true culture fit.
Going From Operator to Funder with Leo Polovets
On the third episode of the Thrive Through Connection Podcast, we welcome Leo Polovets, the General Partner at Humba Ventures and Co-founder of Susa Ventures. Leo joins us to talk about his journey from operator to supporting over 100 companies as an investor at both Humba and Susa.
