Thesis

Only 1% of global financial services revenues has been captured by fintech. Cambrian backs great founders building the remaining 99%. The firm believes fintech opportunities are far from exhausted and looks for exceptional execution against clear product visions.

Likely not a fit for

Not interested in founders without deep fintech domain expertise or execution track record. Avoids consumer-only plays without defensible unit economics.
