In Sheel's presentation at Meet Our Fund 5, he discusses:
- Better Tomorrow Ventures (BTV) as an integral extension of a startup's founding team. They have $300M AUM, and their seed fund alone is $150M, with investment ticket sizes ranging from $500k to $4M.
- BTV's unique accelerator program in San Francisco, called The Mint, which is highly selective, taking only seven companies and offering access to top-tier mentors.
- Their global investment strategy, with 40% of their portfolio companies based in the U.S.
- A nuanced view of the fintech landscape, asserting that we're moving past "vanilla fintech." Sheel critiques consumer-facing fintech companies for high Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC) and being balance-sheet heavy.
- BTV's specific interests within fintech, including embedded fintech and global trade finance.
