We’re still abuzz from last week’s?TheFFC?event where L&H guru?Stephen Goldstein?moderated a lively panel on how #AppliedAI is revolutionizing Fintech and Insurtech in areas such as customer experience, risk assessment, streamlined workflows, automation and value chain optimization. Participants included Grit Capital Partners' own?Jennifer Byrne,?American Family Ventures?investor?Tiana P.?,?Luminant Analytics?Chief Data Scientist?Renu Ann Joseph, Ph.D.?and?Eos Venture Partners?Principal?Galen Shaffer, who delivered thoughtful insights and answered tough questions around the big opportunities emerging in specific areas of Fintech and Insurtech as a result of increasingly widespread Applied AI adoption. Huge thanks to FFC co-founder?Kate Lynch?and all involved for a fantastic evening of reflection and networking, and look forward to more great sessions here this week during?#LATechWeek. #fintech?#AppliedAI?#venturecapital?#insurtech?#innovation
