Exciting News in WealthTech: First Rate Ventures Invests in Fispoke! 🚀 First Rate Ventures is thrilled to announce our latest investment in Fispoke™ , a #WealthTech startup revolutionizing how #RIAs deliver holistic banking solutions to their clients. Here's why we invested in Fispoke: Exceptional Founding Team: We had the privilege of meeting Robert Clare, Nathan Berk, and Terry Mullen in person at the April Tiburon CEO Summits in Boston. Their passion, vision, and cultural alignment with our values were immediately evident. We're confident in their ability to execute and drive transformative change in the industry. Solving a Critical Problem for RIAs: As RIAs compete with #banks to provide comprehensive financial services, Fispoke empowers them to offer white-labeled banking products seamlessly integrated into their offerings. This enables RIAs to deliver a private banking-like experience, enhancing client satisfaction and loyalty. Stewardship as the Cornerstone: We firmly believe that stewardship should be the guiding principle in wealth management. Fispoke's platform enables RIAs to serve as true stewards of their clients' financial well-being, providing a holistic and client-centric approach to wealth management. We couldn't be more excited to partner with the Fispoke team and support their growth journey. Our #WealthTech experts will join the Fispoke team in helping to accelerate the delivery of the platform. Together, we'll work towards reshaping the WealthTech landscape, making it more inclusive, accessible, and impactful for all stakeholders.
