The Cap Table Coalition aims to diversify the VC ecosystem by creating investment opportunities for Black, Latinx, LGBTQ+, Native American, women, and other traditionally marginalized investors.

The Cap Table Coalition

The Cap Table Coalition is made up of high-growth startups, VC firms, and emerging fund managers who want to work to close the racial wealth gap. If you are an underrepresented investor or a founder looking to pledge, join us! https://captablecoalition.com/

Inspired by the Act One Diversity Rider and Finix’s fundraising efforts to diversify startup cap tables, we're working to make it as easy as possible for everyone to join the movement.

🌟 Celebrating Milestones and Community Connections! 🌟

June has been a remarkable month for us, marking our 3rd anniversary and celebrating Juneteenth across New York and Chicago!

🚀 On June 6, we teamed up with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP and THE ALPHA 1 COLLABORATIVE for our inaugural NYC #TechWeek event, focusing on stakeholder balance during volatile times. With over 200 attendees from our ecosystems, we networked into the night (huge thanks to Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP for hosting us past our time! 😅). A special shoutout to our amazing sponsors: Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, THE ALPHA 1 COLLABORATIVE, Blk Grvty, Sydecar, Stifel Bank, Vicente Capital Partners, and Ten To One Rum. Together, we facilitated crucial conversations for Founders, GPs, LPs, and Legal Advisors navigating these challenging times.

🏌️♂️ Just a week later, on June 15, we partnered with BLCK VC's Midwest chapter for our first Golf Classic in Chicago! Over 80 members of our Chicago ecosystem joined us at the stunning Sydney R. Marovitz Golf Course  for 9-holes and an insightful discussion at the intersection of sports and investing. The feedback has been phenomenal, and we couldn't have done it without the support of J.P. Morgan Private Bank, GET Cities, Kirkland & Ellis, Ten To One Rum, and My Block Skin.

🎤 A heartfelt thank you to all the incredible speakers who shared their expertise this month: Samir Bakhru, Aaron Holiday, Sheila Talton, Angela Outlaw-Matheny, Qiana Patterson, Roshen Karavattuveetil, and Douglas P.

Wishing everyone a Happy #Juneteenth, and here's to rest and prosperity this summer! We're excited to continue curating spaces for our ecosystem to connect, collaborate, and grow together.

We are excited to introduce and welcome our new summer intern! Victor Fernandez. Victor brings such a passion for learning and excitement for our work and we couldn't be more delighted to have him.  He is a current student at Columbia University pursuing a degree in Financial Economics with a concentration in Psychology on the Pre-Law Track.

Please join us in warmly welcoming Victor to the team! 

A special thank you to Josue De Paz and team at the First Tech Fund an organization dedicated to empowering students of underserved backgrounds with technology access, practical skills, and opportunities to succeed in the modern world.  We know that genius is equally spread, but access and opportunity is not and we are committed to extending our collective social capital to all students.

For all in Chicago this Saturday, June 15….

We partnered with BLCK VC to host a day of golf, food, and connection! We’ll also have a discussion around the ever popular intersection of sports & venture.

Many software platforms are really just fintech companies under the hood. Look closely at these “vertical SaaS” companies and you'll see they make most of their revenue from payments and other financial services...

Here are some stats from a few recent earnings reports:
 
🏠  Appfolio, which sells property management software, made 76% of its Q1 revenue from “Value Added Services,” which includes services like payments, tenant screening, and risk mitigation. And this revenue line is growing at 47% YoY!

📦 For Shopify, “Merchant Solutions” (mostly payments) was 73% of its Q1 revenue, growing 20% YoY.

🍞 Toast, a popular restaurant point of sale provider, got 81% of its Q1 revenue from “Financial Technology,” which increased 41% from the previous year!

At Finix, we work with companies—like Archy, which provides dental practice management software—sitting at the intersection of SaaS and payments and they’re growing just as quickly as the public companies listed above. 

If you’re looking for a payments partner that can grow with you, get in touch: https://lnkd.in/gYDAF-7C

Shoutout to the CTC community members & investors going through BLCK VC ‘s BVI Cohort 7!

Keep striving for greatness!!
