Silicon Valley has failed 99% of America. They have failed the SMBs. They have failed our backbone industries. Despite billions of VC & PE dollars invested in this category, why aren't all 33M SMBs in America using verticalized & automated financial systems to: — Project cash flows? — Reconcile financials? — Automate spend and expense tracking? — Manage all their finances in 1 place? Watch & listen to this LightShed Ventures podcast to hear how Affiniti is changing the paradigm, by unlocking $2.3T of financial productivity for SMBs https://lnkd.in/edhzzubu Thank you to Rich Greenfield Jamie Roberts Seltzer & Xavier Parkmond for being amazing hosts, and bettering the future of America's economy.
