Thrilled to announce another $350M for our early stage fintech evergreen fund, pushing our AUM to $850M! With 71 fintechs, 18 ecosystem partners, 7 unicorns, & 250M+ lives & businesses impacted, we're just getting started. Thanks @bayareawriter for the @TechCrunch feature!

@unit_co_ is changing. We've made several important decisions recently: 1. Designing for banks as key customers 🏦 2. Doubling down on direct relationships 🤝 3. Investing more in our bank oversight product 🖥 We have a view that hasn't changed from the beginning: to serve our mission in 20+ years, we need to make sure that our ecosystem operates responsibly and sustainably. What HAS changed is the regulatory attention to partnerships between banks and technology companies. We are taking note ✔ Our ecosystem serves 1,405,807 small businesses, independent workers, and consumers: freight businesses, restaurants, homeowners, property managers, retirees, and healthcare clinics and more. Being here in 20+ years for them - and many others - is a responsibility that we take seriously. I'm incredibly proud of our team and customers - both banks and technology companies - for the work that we continue to do for them.

We’re deepening our commitment to banks 🤝 The last few years have brought robust growth and important learnings for our platform. In this blog post, Unit CEO @itaidamti outlines what we’ve learned, how we operate today, and how we’re evolving. unit.co/blog/deepening…

Congrats CurbWaste on securing Series A funding! The fintech’s use of #EmbeddedFinance and automation is revolutionizing waste management, an industry ripe for change. Their impressive growth this year is just the start. Excited to be part of the journey! bit.ly/41nTtDF

@CallMeGillette Mazel Tov!

I married the love of my life last night— surrounded by our dearest friends and family. In a sometimes dark world, there will always be rays of light, and love. I love you Amanda and I cannot wait to build our home together. Blessed is the land and the people of Israel. 🇮🇱

@NikMilanovic What a bummer!

It's a beautiful day in SF... to get sprayed with mud by a road construction team on your way to a meeting.

Loved having two of our most talented portfolio company leaders, @lauraspiekerman @usealloy and @AmandaSwov50720 @unit_co_ , discuss the future of embedded finance @TechCrunch Disrupt!

Had a blast yesterday hosting @TechCrunch Masterclass on product-market fit. Huge thanks the @FlourishVC portfolio execs @usealloy, @unit_co_ @clerkieapp, @Skipify1 and @Chime for your case studies and valuable insights and to all attendees- your drive and passion inspire me!

Cheering on Skipify in their new partnership w/ @AmericanExpress. Their email-based customer recognition system auto-links eligible Amex cards for a seamless checkout. So inspiring to see them continue to shape the Connected Checkout category. Congrats! bit.ly/47hjRlh

@NikMilanovic Congrats my friend! What a beautiful way to propose - so happy for you both.

life update: she said yes

@CatchKristen @ajambrosino Beautiful picture - what a lucky baby to join such an incredible family!

Anyone who thinks we didn't get rich at Catch is wrong. Welcome Zoe James.

@psb_dc @bayareawriter @FlourishVC @lightspeedvp @BessemerVP @GilgameshVC @michaelsidgmore @anthemis @MenloVentures Right back at you, Theo!

I surveyed 7 investors in the fintech space and even I was impressed with the depth and thoughtfulness of their answers! @FlourishVC @lightspeedvp @BessemerVP @GilgameshVC @michaelsidgmore @anthemis @MenloVentures techcrunch.com/2023/03/07/7-i…

@CatchKristen Thank you for being such a positive and inspirational force in fintech. You and the Catch team addressed an audacious and impactful goal and you’ve set the path for transformation. Excited for what is next and grateful for your authentic leadership!

We’re shutting down. catch.co/thank-you/ We started building 6 years ago with a crazy idea that our benefits shouldn’t be tied to traditional employment and a W2 form.
