We’re delighted to be backing @PlannerPalAI . We led a £500k investment round alongside prominent fintech angel investors. PlannerPal is an AI-assistant for financial planners. Read Why we Invested: medium.com/ada-ventures/why-… We’re proud to support @MarkWhitcroft and @shoomon_perry as they launched their beta product at Empowering Advice Through Technology conference and won one of the 'Best in Show' awards at #EATT2024. At Ada Ventures, we invest in the founder as much as their idea. And this is one of the perfect examples of great founder-market fit.

"How can I learn more about #fintech ?" is a question I am often asked. One of the best, most complete (& free!!) resources I have seen is from @RMartinChavez, ex-CIO of Goldman Sachs. rmartinchavez.com/education
