At Fintech Sandbox, we interview and evaluate multiple startups weekly for inclusion in the Data Access Residency. The number of startups incorporating AI into their solutions continues to grow. This past week, 100% of the startups we reviewed included AI as a core part of their product. I’m fascinated by the speed of this evolution in this corner of fintech. Startups we talk to are no longer just enhancing decision-making with data insights. They’re now pushing the envelope by incorporating Agentic AI, AI that acts autonomously and intelligently on behalf of the user. This week, we interviewed our first startup that incorporated Agentic AI into its platform. We are rapidly moving toward a future where every tech platform will have Agentic AI built in. I can easily envision trading assistants that analyze market trends and make trades, or personal finance tools that manage investments and optimize saving and spending. The possibilities are endlessly exciting for the future of fintech! As these technologies evolve, the questions on my mind are: How will consumers feel about collaborating with AI agents, especially in managing their digital financial accounts? What will it take before they trust AI to make important financial decisions on their behalf? If you are looking to talk about AI or Fintech in Massachusetts join the Mass Fintech Hub for our meetup this Thursday night.

In this new article, MIT Sloan School of Management's Sara Brown asked Sarah Biller six questions, including one about our work supporting early-stage companies and facilitating connections with data providers, investors, regulators, and financial institutions. Shinrin-yoku comes up, as it does in any discussion of #fintech innovation. But here's the quote we think should resonate: "Building economic power from the top down by shortchanging individuals’ access to financial services, education, infrastructure, health care, or even the internet is eventually bad for everyone, including industry. I am devoted to leveraging the power of innovation and capital markets to solve these challenges." https://bit.ly/4jmtzbl
