We’re a little under one week out from the inaugural Go Restive event! We’re excited to welcome Kenneth Lin (founder of Credit Karma), Ethan Bloch (founder of Digit), Soups Ranjan (founder of Sardine), Laura Spiekerman (founder of Alloy), Anish Acharya (a16z), Dan Preston (founder of Stand), Matt Kerbel (Turo), Andrew Wynn (founder Ascend) and many more to the stage to discuss the opportunities for early stage founders and their advice for building their businesses. Early stage founders and friends: we’re at capacity, but we’re looking forward to sharing highlights from the event over the coming weeks! And for anyone building, Restive is always excited to meet with founders building the next breakthrough company.
We're excited to be supporting FINNY and their mission to transform the wealth management industry! The industry is in the midst of major changes (consolidation and an $80T wealth transfer to say the least) and we can't imagine a better team at the helm. https://lnkd.in/dNveW65d cc: Eden Ovadia Theodore Janson Victoria Toli
Just started a fintech business - or thinking about it? We want to meet! Join us in SF on Feb 5 for our first ever 'Go Restive' event! This is a chance to learn from the best about launching and growing the next generation-defining company. We’ll have experts from across our network, and some of the industry's most successful founders discussing the key issues facing early stage founders from new tech tools, to GTM strategies, to recruiting, fundraising and more. There has never been a better time to start a fintech startup so we are opening up our network to expand yours. You’ll have the chance to connect with other ambitious founders, VCs and operators. The event is free, but open by application only. The link to learn more and apply is in the comments!
Our own J. Tyler Griffin was featured in American Banker today covering the regulatory changes we expect as part of the new administration. The takeaway? We expect recent momentum and a new regulatory regime to drive more investor and founder interest in fintech companies. Let's build!
I chatted with Penny Crosman at American Banker about the current environment for fintechs. Summary: now is a great time to start a company, and if you do, give us a call! https://lnkd.in/gdCHq9tv
Founder & Investor @ Restive Ventures | Helping Founders Build the Future of Financial Services
Last week I wrote in American Banker on how the next president can encourage real innovation in our financial services industry to make our system work better for the middle class and small businesses. For starters, it's time to appoint actual leaders of the our regulatory agencies. Without Senate appointed leaders, who enjoy bipartisan support, our regulators are hobbled in their ability to plan for the long term. It would be particularly nice if they had some experience in a "tech role". It's time to start using technology to better understand the risks that create systemic crises. It is also time to open banking. This means adopting rules that give consumers control over their data, while also making the banking industry more transparent. We need more players, not less. The next administration must seize the opportunity to reorient America's banking regulators on the problems we face in 2024, not on what we faced in 2008. It's time to bring the financial services industry forward. Let me know what you think: https://lnkd.in/g6hF97bD
