As investors, we want to help expand access to financial services to underserved communities, one reason we support ResilienceVC, a seed-stage fintech VC firm. Some significant news from cofounders Vikas Raj and Tahira Dosani, as reported in TechCrunch: a $56-million debt fund to back fintech companies focused on financial inclusion. And we agree with Vikas: “At a time of great change, nearly daily change, in the regulatory environment and the policy environment, everyone in financial services needs to have deep connections to decision-makers, regulators, policymakers, agency heads.” https://bit.ly/4buCrJ4 #ImpactInvesting #FinancialInclusion #FintechForGood
