OatFi’s Post

Huge kudos to Alex Johnson and Simon Taylor on their breakdown of OatFi on Alex's Fintech Takes pod. This is the most accurate 3rd-party account of our business I've ever heard. I wasn't interviewed prior to this conversation and am impressed by their understanding of our business model, (rarely grokked by those within the venture ecosystem), and intuition around the real future opportunities & questions asked. Our business is a complicated one, and in the nascent world of 'embedded lending', I find that OatFi defines the word 'embedded' quite differently. While we often get lumped in with every 'Lending as a Service' / B2B BNPL / Embedded Lender / etc. out there, if you take time to understand, you'll find that we're quite different. Alex Johnson, Simon Taylor, if you ever want my thoughts on the risks / opportunities you highlighted, holler at me! https://lnkd.in/dXzRV3HK

Want to get a glimpse into the future of fintech and private credit? Last week we hosted 80 folks from the NY fintech and alternative finance ecosystem for an Alternative Capital Demo Day with some of the best early stage operators building the future of financial services both inside and outside the FM portfolio. Grateful to have amazing presenters like Bob Elliott, Samir Shergill, Michael Barbosa, Warren R., Cole Riccardi, Ari Rubin, and Roman Pedan as well as the dozens of investors who joined us. Adding our presentation from the event below and excited to spend more time evangelizing the potential of financial services innovation to drive meaningful alpha for equity and structured product investors alike. https://lnkd.in/gWewcm6V

It's no secret that it's been a choppy 18 months for fintech -- and yet the volatility is exactly why I'm long on it. There has never been a time in my investing career more exciting for early stage fintech than right now and the problems are as unsolved as ever. I often get asked who the up and coming fintech companies to watch are. Here in New York we're seeing leaders like Andres K. Marc Escapa Gavin Nachbar Oban MacTavish Paolo Bertolotti, PhD Bob Elliott R. Danae V. and the many others we featured on this list paving strong new paths we expect to be very notable in years to come. In this focal list, we highlighted 25 companies building locally who have raised a Seed or A in the last 18 months. And while NYC is Primary's home base, remember that we make investments everywhere, so if you're building in fintech I'd love to hear from you. I'll also be on the ground and onstage in at Money20/20 next week! If you'll be there I'd love to hear from you.
