Fintech has seen increased popularity over the years, with record funding levels and rising valuations. Then came the COVID-19 pandemic – ushering uncertainty into every aspect of our lives. The lack of clarity around the true impact of the situation has made it hard for all stakeholders to adapt. Adam Felesky, CEO of Portag3 Ventures, talks about how the pandemic is impacting venture capital, the challenges and opportunities it brings, and how actions that are taken now will impact future success.
