IDCV Newsletter April 2022
DEAR PARTNERS AND INVESTORS
Spring is in full swing this April. Nature is invigorated with emerging birds and humming bees, while our portfolio companies blossom into renowned brands. Two companies made the Marketplace100 list by a16z + Future, one was awarded UK Banking Tech of the Year Award 2022, another landed a place on the coveted and highly valued listing as a Soonicorn by Tracxn, and The Savvy Report named yet another portfolio company as the Most Reliable Network. Founders surfaced at conferences as speakers at Bitcoin 2022, Empire Fintech, The Fintech Summit and made headlines globally. This recognition confirms our philosophy and thesis driven approach; disruption is the seedling of opportunity in the generational shifts of human behavior and is discoverable through an entrepreneurial centric and founder friendly organization.
