Fintech News with Lindsay Davis @ Atomic
Happy Weekend Fintech Family,
I’m writing with some news. Not “some personal news,” but more so some news about the news. Meta enough for ya?
Lindsay Davis, Head of Markets @ Atomic, has joined me the past couple weeks to cover the fintech news de jour. Follow her on the tweeter here.
This week we covered the fast and furious fundraising announcements in the Gen-Z Neobanking space. Casual half a billion plowed into three companies within a couple days. Much to discuss!
