Summary

The mission of ValueStream is to accelerate the adoption of new technologies in the Financial Services industry. We foster a community of customers, professionals, and investors, and partner with emerging technology enabled Financial Services startups, with a strong focus on companies that target the Professional (B2P), Institutional (B2I), and Enterprise (B2B) spaces.

The founding team and its group of advisors have deep content expertise across the Financial Services industries, startup operations, and alternative investment management.

Our process focuses on customer and product development. For companies that are past the “man with a plan” stage, we combine a customer feedback and industry mentor-driven model to enable our portfolio companies to move beyond a working prototype into the sustainable customer base stage – typically in preparation for a growth inflection point. Our program is the missing link in the Financial Services startup community.
