Congratulations to portfolio companies Plaid and Vestwell for being named to Forbes' Fintech 50 for 2023. The Fintech 50, in its eighth installment, is an annual list of the most innovative private fintech companies, which considers everything from product originality and customer and revenue growth to leadership team diversity.
Still, there’s no denying that in today’s environment the youngest fintech startups face tough going. That explains why our 2023 list has only 19 companies that have never made the Fintech 50 before, down from 25 newcomers last year.
