First - Happy New Year to All of You
As we welcome 2025, we want to express our deepest gratitude to every founder, investor, advisor, and partner who has supported us on this incredible journey. Your belief in Fiat Ventures inspires us every day. Together, we’re building what we believe is the best fintech-focused investment platform in the world.
Why the Smartest Generalist Investor is the Fintech Investor
Everything is fintech. It’s at the core of every business and woven into every industry. Payments, subscriptions, BNPL, credit, loans, AI, insurance—these aren’t just fintech products. They’re the backbone of modern commerce.
Today, fintech’s infrastructure layer has democratized access, making it possible for any business to embed fintech products seamlessly. Turnkey APIs and white-label solutions, like those from Stripe, Affirm, and Spinwheel, enable brands to integrate fintech capabilities with just a few lines of code.
Want to offer co-branded digital credit cards? You can launch them in weeks.
Need a BNPL widget for your checkout flow? Plug it in effortlessly.
Interested in helping customers refinance their student loans? The solution is ready for deployment.
The days of assembling 50-person dev teams to build these products from scratch are gone. Today, even the smallest tech startup—or massive brands like Lululemon, Delta Airlines, Ford Motors, or Costco—can partner with fintech providers to launch impactful products faster, cheaper, and more effectively.
This shift is revolutionizing industries by adding tangible value to users and creating new revenue streams for businesses. And as fintech continues to evolve, its reach and impact will only grow.
Fintech: The Infrastructure Powering Every Industry
What makes fintech so exciting is its universality. It’s no longer confined to traditional financial services—it’s embedded in healthcare, climate tech, travel, age tech, and the future of work. As businesses scale, the products they add to their ecosystems—be it payments, lending, or insurance—are inherently fintech-driven.
This transformation allows fintech investors to operate as generalists with unparalleled insights. We’re not just investing in financial products; we’re investing in infrastructure that powers businesses across every vertical.
AI + Fintech: The Next Billion-Dollar Opportunity
Layered on top of this infrastructure is artificial intelligence, which is unlocking unprecedented opportunities for personalization, optimization, and scale. AI’s integration into fintech provides:
Real-time financial recommendations for consumers.
Predictive analytics for businesses to make data-driven decisions.
Seamless operations that enhance user experiences and drive profitability.
At Fiat Ventures, our ecosystem—comprising Fiat Growth, Fiat Advisors, and a network of over 200 fintech experts—positions us at the forefront of this evolution. We’re not just witnessing these changes; we’re actively shaping them.
Why This Matters
The smartest generalist investor is the fintech investor. Why? Because fintech is:
Cheaper, faster, and more effective than ever before.
Universal: It’s embedded into industries and accessible to all businesses.
Transformational: It’s creating unparalleled value for users while generating revenue for companies.
With fintech impacting everyone and everything, we’re grateful to have a front-row seat. It’s the best seat in the house, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you will soon—because everything is fintech.
The Future is Now
At Fiat Ventures, we’re doubling down on our fintech focus for 2025 and beyond. We believe that by combining fintech’s transformative power with the speed and precision of AI, we’re positioned to drive scalable, sustainable growth for founders, businesses, and industries worldwide.
