Fin Capital’s Fintech CEO Pulse Report is out! We surveyed over 50 CEOs and C-suite leaders of private companies from our portfolio and the broader fintech industry during June and July 2024 to get a quick pulse on what’s top of mind for fintech’s leaders. Here are some key takeaways: Optimism in the Air: More than 60% of CEOs reported being bullish or highly bullish on the fintech industry for the second half of 2024. Regulatory Changes on the Horizon: CEOs identified Cryptocurrency, Open Banking, and Buy Now Pay Later as the top three sectors likely to see increased regulation by the end of 2024. CEOs Want Business Development Support: Beyond capital and fundraising, business development support emerged as the top area where CEOs seek investor assistance.For more insights, including comments from my colleagues Ren Riley, Logan Allin, Matthew D. Mann, CFA, and Stephanie Perez, check out the full report here: https://lnkd.in/euHK8-9B

In the rapidly evolving landscape of private equity and consulting, one thing remains constant: the imperative for value creation. As a Managing Director at Catalyft LLC, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of effective value creation strategies. It's not just about improving operations or making strategic acquisitions; it's about reimagining what's possible for underperforming assets and unlocking their true potential. In my experience, the key to successful value creation lies in a combination of creativity and rigorous execution. It's about seeing beyond the numbers and understanding the human element that drives business success. Whether it's through leveraging AI to gain deeper insights or tapping into emerging markets, the opportunities for growth are endless. But it's not just about the bottom line. As someone who's created over $1 billion in value, I can attest that the real reward comes from the positive impact on the companies we work with, their employees, and the broader community. That's why I'm passionate about sharing my expertise in value creation, not just within the private equity space, but also in advising boards of directors and family offices. I'm always looking to connect with fellow professionals who share my commitment to driving growth and creating lasting value. If you're interested in discussing the future of value creation or exploring potential collaborations, I'd love to hear from you. Let's continue to push the boundaries of what's possible and create a brighter future for businesses and investors alike. Share your thoughts on value creation in the comments below, and if you found this post insightful, please feel free to repost. #ValueCreation #PrivateEquity #Consulting
