There are over 180,000 FinTech ventures out there today.
Still, my team and I monitor 4.5 million of those ventures across markets every week.
Why, because the boundaries of business are becoming highly blurred. FinTech. InsurTech. HealthTech. WealthTech. AITech. This number changes every single month. But here’s the stat that really matters.
Regardless of market or region, only 25% of these ventures have secured funding and meaningful backing.That means 75% are still on the outside looking in—searching not just for capital, but for access, credibility, and value-creating partnerships with Global Fortune 500 companies. And this is where things get interesting. Because funding isn’t just about money. It’s about how corporates think, how investors decide, and why some ventures scale while others stall.
In this podcast, we pull back the curtain on corporate venturing. Well, to be more precise, we will focus on the Venture-Client Model, or how a growth venture becomes a commercial customer of a corporation. Then it only makes sense for VCs, including corporate VCs, to invest in successful, repeatable partnerships. And what founders must understand if they want to build, grow, and scale—intelligently. You know this already. This isn’t theory. It’s strategy, tactics, tools, and hard-won insights from those who control capital and collaboration. So if you’re a founder, an operator, or a leader navigating this high-velocity digital transformation ecosystem, well, this podcast is for you.
Listen in. Challenge your assumptions. And join the conversation.
