The Shift from B2C to Infrastructure

The consumer fintech boom of 2020-2021 has largely cooled, replaced by a deep LP appetite for B2B infrastructure, cross-border payments routing, and institutional DeFi plumbing. Funds in the Intronets Fintech hub are specifically vetted for their ability to navigate complex regulatory environments across multiple jurisdictions.

Core Investment Theses

Embedded Finance & APIs

Investors are seeking vertical software platforms that are layering on lending or issuing capabilities to dramatically increase ACV and retention. Margins here must be modeled carefully.

Cross-Border & Treasury

Solutions that bypass traditional SWIFT rails or optimize corporate treasury yields in high-interest rate environments.

Institutional DeFi

Retail token launches are explicitly filtered out. This network focuses on tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) and institutional-grade custody solutions.

Regulatory Diligence Requirements

Fintech deals die in compliance. To access this network, founders must include a specific "Regulatory Stance" document in their data room. This must detail current licensure (e.g., MTLs), sponsor bank relationships, and an overview of the compliance stack (KYC/AML providers).
