CU 2.0 Podcast News Flash: Martin Walker on Fintech Funding, CUSOs and More
Show Notes

Here’s the blunt news: the market for mergers and acquisitions involving fintechs now is very, very slow.


What’s that mean for credit unions, CUSOs, and fintechs themselves?


On the show is Martin Walker, an executive with both Next Level Ventures and Curql which puts him at the epicenter of fintech funding especially in the credit union/CUSO sphere.


A past podcast guest - link to that show in the show notes - Walker brings some very good news but not all of it is good.


The IPO market, for instance, is comatose, he says.


But he is very upbeat that there is a lot of capital available for early stage fintechs - especially ones with tools to help credit unions bring in more deposits and operate more efficiently in today’s highly competitive environment.


If you have 15 minutes, you’ll learn what you need to know about this topic.
