Andav Capital is a New York-based venture capital firm investing in early stage FinTech and tech-enabled companies for above-market returns. At Andav Capital, we are active partners to our portfolio companies, deploying our global network and cross-functional experience for capital efficient growth, de-risking our portfolio companies through substantial and symbiotic partnerships with management teams, and introducing prudent operational and corporate governance practices. Our reputation as an accretive partner continues to attract proprietary deal flow and propel the best founders to seek our partnership, often allowing us to secure the most favorable investment terms and yielding best-in-class risk-adjusted economics for our Limited Partners. Our Portfolio Our portfolio consists of tech-enabled companies that have established product-market fit and are revenue-generating. We have invested in FinTech, DeFi, Web3, B2B SaaS, marketplaces, consumer AI/ML, and more. Our portfolio companies exhibit defensible competitive advantages and capital efficient growth compared to their peer class. We are also proud that the majority of our portfolio companies are led by female and diverse CEOs who also leverage impact and ESG-factors as core business drivers for long-term value creation and competitive differentiation. Our portfolio is outperforming industry benchmarks for venture capital firms with less than $50M AUM. We have been fortunate to invest alongside and prior to Fortune 500 CEOs, major VC firms, and leading investment banks and corporates, including PayPal CEO Dan Schulman, Kleiner Perkins, Morgan Stanley, and Salesforce.

Making investments that produce more than financial returns. What we care about Investment Returns. We don’t shy away from talking about our 22-year track record. Rather, we’re incredibly proud of posting top decile investment returns. But a top tier investment record is only one part of our story. Strategic Venture Capital. Before insurance companies embraced strategic investing, we were making insurtech/fintech venture investments on behalf of insurance companies. The limited partners in our Inter-Atlantic funds are predominantly insurance companies strategically interested in the insurtech/fintech ecosystem. Our investors gain strategic insights from our venture capital activities, and our portfolio companies benefit from strategic connections to our 20 insurance company limited partners. Financial Empowerment. Before financial empowerment became a buzzword, our portfolio companies were empowering millions. While each of our portfolio companies strives to be a great corporate citizen, the majority have focused on underserved individuals and small businesses. Think of: NetSpend supplying an immigrant with his first payment card; Homeowners of America issuing affordable home insurance to a first-time home buyer; Higher One providing a college freshman with her first bank account; Marqeta powering a modern card issuing platform for e-commerce startups; Clearcover offering low cost auto insurance; Credit Sesame providing a millennial with her free credit report analysis. Climate Change. In hundreds of ways, fintech/insurtech has decreased the environmental footprint of financial services. On the other hand, certain new technologies are harmful to the earth's climate. IA Capital has not and will not invest in companies that encourage proof-of-work cryptocurrency mining or other activities that require extreme amounts of power consumption.

Underrepresented founders account for 31% of our portfolio. More specifically, Black and Latinx founders account for 12% of our portfolio versus a VC-industry average of 2%. Our partner Rick Viton is a leader in the Hispanic financial community and an advocate for financial services inclusion. We remain committed to principles of diversity and transparency. IA. IA can stand for investment advisors or independent agents, two of insurtech’s most important constituencies and a major focus of ours. IA can stand for Iowa, an insurance hub and home to some of our limited partners. In our case, IA stands for Inter-Atlantic, which befits the three major insurance centers of New York, London, and Bermuda. Community. Finally, we are proud of our involvement in our communities. I encourage you to learn about the organizations we support, including Transportation Alternatives.

The Internet has reached in, grabbed, and made the world we once knew totally unrecognizable. Yet the world of finance is, sadly, totally recognizable. The way we transact, save, borrow, invest and manage our money has barely advanced. Yes, there has been some recent innovation– we’re proud to have invested behind many of the intrepid entrepreneurs who are leading the charge – but it is far from enough. In short, we are still at the beginning of the beginning. Case in point: less than 1% of all loans in the world are made online. (Yeah, you heard us right). We’re all stuck in a financial time warp. And just like newspapers, travel agents, hotels and taxi companies have been turned upside down from outside the cozy confines of their industries, don’t expect banks to lead us out of the warp. They’ve proven themselves either unable to create internal environments where innovation can flourish – or simply unwilling to change even though it’s best for their customers. Ribbit Capital is a global investment organization with one single, relentless mission: to change the world of finance. When we look back at our mantra from the day we launched in 2012, the beliefs and values motivating our mission have not changed. This we believe:We believe the unstoppable movement of consumers and business owners to mobile will resound in financial services for decades to come. We believe change favors new entrants and their new brands. We believe that legacy players will lag and sputter. We believe consumers are ready to be inspired. Over the past few years, our convictions have deepened. We have invested in visionary entrepreneurs who are also hard-headed pragmatists. We’ve given them support, guidance, and running room. And we’ve watched with awe as they have begun to reshape the financial world. Our goal isn’t just to write checks. It’s to deposit and grow ideas. We look at finance with a hungry eye for change, and with a desire to share our learning and experience – including some painful mistakes along the way –with ambitious entrepreneurs. When they succeed, they will create the next JP Morgans, Citibanks and Schwabs - tomorrow’s enduring brands. “Our goal isn’t just to write checks. It’s to deposit ideas.” For us, the passion is also personal: we have lived through hyperinflation in two countries, started innovative financial services businesses on three continents, and been regulated by seven governments. Since launching Ribbit, we have invested behind entrepreneurs in ten different countries who are providing financial services to customers in nearly every major city on earth. We invest this broadly because the tectonic shifts we are funding are deep and global. Millions who are joyfully stepping into the middle class now have opportunity to interact with the formal financial system for the first time. Consumers everywhere are waiting expectantly – and often with mounting frustration – for financial services providers to finally bring them true efficiency, transparency, and radical simplicity. The next generation of consumers has about as much patience for Big Finance as they do for Big Anything. Driven by this, we will help create and nurture a thriving, bustling new world in lending, personal finance, insurance, financial software, bitcoin, and more. The technology is here - the Internet, social networks, smart phones, electronic payment systems, and massive processing power in the cloud. The ideas are here as well. What’s in short supply is the investment focus, support, and partnership to accelerate their success. It takes money to change money.
