Congratulations to Bluprynt and Aptos Foundation on a game-changing partnership that’s setting a new standard for compliance in the crypto space!
I’m excited to share the next big step at Bluprynt—our work with the Aptos Foundation to launch core on-chain infrastructure to support U.S. securities law and set the stage for RWA tokenization and more. ?And just in time, when questions about how to make government work dominate headlines—along with how to regulate digital assets. Crypto sparks endless debate—some see uncertainty and risk, we see an opportunity to help. Once in a generation moments like these where we think hard about the future of regulation are precisely when we should be rethinking what compliance means in a digital-first economy. While many are focused on how tradfi compliance can help crypto, we’re flipping the script: building crypto-native compliance tools that don’t just serve crypto, but tradfi as well. Because the future of finance deserves better infrastructure. Stay tuned. https://lnkd.in/eszUSSKW

Big congratulations to MANTL on entering into an agreement to be acquired by Alkami Technology for an enterprise value of $400M! It has been an honor to be part of the team’s journey as an investor and to watch MANTL’s success and impact in modernizing financial infrastructure for banks and credit unions.

HR teams know the formula: happy, healthy employees = better retention and productivity. But if you can’t measure the real impact of wellness programs, how do you prove they work? As Nima Pourshasb, CEO and co-founder of minu, breaks down in Mexico Business News, the real question isn’t just how many employees use a benefit, it’s how much actual value is being delivered to employees. A great read from Nima on why the current approach to measuring impact is broken, three key principles for rethinking measurement, and what effective measurement looks like in practice.?

Thanks to Stephanie Tondo for a great conversation on the future of fintech in the region and how Flourish is backing founders who are driving lasting change.
Fintech Investor | LatAm | Operator | Management Consultant | Wilderness Leadership Instructor
For years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside fintech founders in Latin America and have witnessed firsthand how they’re reshaping financial access across the region. But fintech’s potential doesn’t stop at consumer finance, it’s now expanding into B2B, a space that has long struggled with outdated banking systems and manual operations.?I lived this first hand working at one of the largest banks in the world. That shift is happening, and I couldn’t be more excited to see it accelerate. I recently sat down with Startups to discuss why this shift matters, how fintech can unlock new opportunities for B2B companies, and the critical role we all play in championing more female founders in this space. Huge thanks to Stephanie Tondo for the thoughtful conversation and for shining a light on Flourish’s commitment to advancing financial inclusion and well-being throughout Latin America. https://shorturl.at/uf1TJ
