Sheel Mohnot, co -founder and general partner of Better Tomorrow Ventures (BTV), has one easy answer for anyone who claimed that investing in FinTech lost a part of their attractiveness.
“The world of finance is huge. About 20% of global GDP is financial services and is still not digital enough,” said Techcrunch.
Many financial transactions are still manually served, and higher ventures tomorrow-conducted by Mohnot (former general partner in 500 startups) and co-founder of Nerdwallet, Jake Gibson-Mus to assist change this.
“A great possibility of digitization is still ahead of us,” said Mohnot Techcrunch. It seems that the company’s partners agree.
Better Tomorrow Ventures has just collected a third fund price $ 140 million, almost matching the second fund in the amount of $ 150 million, which was announced at the starting of 2022. At the end of the ZIRP boom (zero percentage policy).
“This time we planned to reduce the fund,” said Mohnot. “In 2021, the matter went behind the side. Every company in which we invested immediately raised the next round at a crazy price, and it was probably bad,” said Mohnot.
He explained that now, when Fintech’s enthusiasm is Tamer, BTV does not need enough capital to proceed to participate in its best startups.

The company also didn’t use the fund of $ 75 million collected together with the second fund in 2022. But this capital may soon be useful. Because many of the last and planned IPO are in the fintech space, including Chime, clarna, Navan and Wealthfront, he hopes that late stage investors will likely be more excited about this category.
At the early stage, investing fintech has actually increased over the past 12 months. For example, BTV sees great opportunities to interfere with accounting.
“There is a huge lack of accountants. All accounting companies reverse business and it is an ideal application for artificial intelligence,” believes Mohnot.
The company has already supported three accounting startups: the basis that has recently raised Series A $ 34 million run by Khosl Ventures; LayerA settled accounting platform for small and medium -sized corporations; and INSCOPE, a startup that helps automate the controlled development of the financial statements.
But this is not only accounting: Mohnot is a strong believer in the wide AI applications in fintech. “Financial services are very labor-intensive. There is insurance, compliance, fraud detection, customer support,” he said. “AI can do all this at lower costs.”
Other significant corporations in the BTV portfolio are a coast, a payment platform for fleet and truck drivers; Unit, bank startup as a service that recently price $ 1.2 billion; Relay, Internet banking and money management platform for small corporations; and a unit, a bank startup as a service that is recently price $ 1.2 billion.
In the case of the third fund, the company plans to speculate in 30 to 35 corporations, from the size of checks from $ 500,000 to USD 3.5 million.
