Incredibly excited to partner with Abacus in ushering in the next generation of financial services further enabled by AI.

Tom Brown is a longtime bank investor and joined me on Operate Podcast to talk about his history, investment approach and the state of banking in the US. Tom is as relevant and attuned to what's happening in banks today as he was decades ago when he started, and I think his first principles approach is a lot of the reason why. He inspired me with his understanding of history, as well as his detailed knowledge of the change and disruption happening. We talked about newer entrants, such as Chime, as well as how much different types of financial institutions like Capital One and Ally invest in marketing vs. regional and community banks. Banks are largely undervalued in today's market and Tom runs a hedge fund that has significantly outperformed. You'll learn a ton from this conversation! Find us on your favorite podcast app.

“I’m not a talker…” Well, maybe I am. A little. So grateful for opportunities to bring together bank leaders and change agents, entrepreneurs who want to work with and improve them, and a few of us who want to help make it all work for everyone. 4 years has flown by at BankTech Ventures, and the progress and impact have been profound, even in the most turbulent banking market imaginable. The turbulence may never stop, but commitments to customers and shareholders take priority. We press on. The bankers we get to work with are rising to the challenge. And every once in awhile it’s good to take a breath, break bread together, reflect, share and remember we’re better together.

The other night I was walking my dog during sunset, thinking *really original* thoughts like "the world’s changing faster than ever." And somewhere in that moment of overthinking, I landed on: trust and transparency matter more than ever. I’m genuinely proud that as investors in Finosec, we’re helping financial institutions build clarity and consistency, so they can stay secure and keep moving forward. Especially now, as the FFIEC CAT is being sunset, Finosec is stepping up with tools built for today and yes, for tomorrow too (sunset pun intended). Share your own sunset photo with #FinosecForward or #FinosecCAT, and they’ll donate $10 for every picture for the entire month of September.
