And I love this picture of the team below so I included it.
Secretary of Treasury in the house
I’m excited to announce that Robert E. Rubin, former Secretary of Treasury, and co-chair of the Council on Foreign Relations will be joining us at The Future of Fintech Conference at Lincoln Center this June. Mr. Rubin has also served as vice chairman of Goldman Sachs.
We’ll be talking with him about regulatory reform as well as economic growth and policy and their broader implications for financial services.
Thanks to our friends at Centerview Partners for helping to make this happen.
Prices for the conference are going up again tomorrow (March 16th) so get your tickets today. In addition to Mr. Rubin, we’ve got the CEOs of 6 unicorns, Sequoia Capital, and C-level execs from several publicly-traded fintech companies.
Use code NLFintech17 to get $1000 off until tomorrow as well.
Startups on the reg
We analyzed regtech startups that have raised equity funding from 2012-2017 year-to-date and identified geographic trends within the space. The US was the dominant country for regtech startup financing during that time period by far, accounting for 78% of deals.
Fast Company. Christina Farr writes about how Sherpaa survived venture capital’s expectations and quotes CB Insights analyst Nikhil Krishnan on the subject.
