Fintech companies are always looking for the right type of venture capital for their business; at LendIt USA 2017 we hosted a panel that featured a diverse group of leading venture capitalists in the fintech space; the panel was a great mix with a seed stage investor, an international investor, a nonprofit fund looking to grow jobs and the fintech sector in New York, a credit fund who has moved into venture capital investing and a strategic investor at a key Wall Street bank; panelists discussed their investment strategies when evaluating companies and when they look to invest during a company's lifecycle; panelists also discussed key areas where money is currently being invested and what areas of fintech are oversaturated with capital.
