@JillianMurrish HI - we (@IlluminateFM ) do B2B fintech. Happy to connect!

We meet a lot of early stage growing fintech companies. Often times they’re contemplating the next equity raise. Pre-seed to Series B. I have a handful of equity investors we send these deals to. Who else should I know? Who are your favorite VCs that do fintech deals?

Here is why we invested in Accelex who are addressing data extraction and analytics challenges in private markets medium.com/illuminate-fin…

"How can I learn more about #fintech ?" is a question I am often asked. One of the best, most complete (& free!!) resources I have seen is from @RMartinChavez, ex-CIO of Goldman Sachs. rmartinchavez.com/education

@auren Lance Uggla from IHSMarkit. He has one of the lowest media profiles for one of the best data and enterprise business builders of all time.

launching a podcast to dive into data businesses and data users. first guests include the CEOs of FICO, Esri, Verisk, ZoomInfo, and more. who else should I interview?
