Sheel Mohnot says the fintech market is ‘hot again’ | Equity Podcast

“The fintech market is hot again,” said Sheel Mohnot, fintech investor and founder of Better Tomorrow Ventures (https://www.btv.vc/) (BTV). “And we are going to see some more exits in the near future.” 

According to recent reports (https://kpmg.com/xx/en/media/press-releases/2022/08/global-fintech-market-resilient-in-h1-22-dollar-107-point-eight-billion-in-investment-according-to-kpmg-s-pulse-of-fintech.html#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20KPMG%20Pulse%20of%20Fintech%20H1%2722%2C,US%24107.8%20billion%20in%20the%20first%20half%20of%202022.) , fintech funding is on the rise, with global investment hitting $60 billion in the first half of the year alone, marking a significant rebound from the previous year’s dip. 

Mohnot – whose X account (https://x.com/pitdesi) you’ve likely come across if you follow fintech – has invested in over 100 deals throughout the years, primarily in fintech, and co-founded the accelerator program The Mint. On today’s episode of TechCrunch’s Equity (https://techcrunch.com/podcasts/equity/) podcast, Mary Ann Azevedo is catching up with Mohnot to discuss why he thinks fintech is “poised to have a lot of outcomes in the near future,” the potential of AI in fintech, particularly in accounting and underwriting, and highlights the impact of DeepSeek on the AI landscape.

Listen to the full episode to hear more about:

• Mohnot’s journey from founder to investor after co-founding companies like FeeFighters, which sold to Groupon (https://techcrunch.com/2012/03/23/groupon-acquires-feefighters-the-billshrink-for-business-services/) in 2012.

• Who’s getting it right in 2025? Mohnot highlights players in the accounting automation space such as Basis, Layer, and InScope

• The optimistic outlook for fintech, with potential IPOs from companies like Chime, Klarna, and Stripe.

• How Sheel built his impressive online following, and what a Taco Bell metaverse wedding and Justin Bieber have to do with it.
