☆ Climate fintech is exciting investors right now. Here's why it's primed to be the next red-hot sector.

Startups operating at the intersection of climate tech and fintech are attracting a lot of investor attention right now. The so-called "climate fintech" sector is another such area that has seen investment tick up against the backdrop of the broader malaise that has hobbled the startup ecosystem, according to investors. Fintech-focused venture firm CommerzVentures defined climate fintech as companies that speed up decarbonization or help manage and adapt to climate risks. Climate fintech is also a software play so it has the ability to scale quickly and efficiently, which is a sweet spot for most VC investors, Morgenthaler added. "Clear and simplified renewable energy contracts, energy invoices, and tariffs in turn allow consumers to access the cheapest energy from multiple renewable sources," Bessemer investor Aia Sarycheva said.

☆ UK launches £1 billion fintech fund to compete with Silicon Valley
  + stars: | 2023-08-16 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The U.K. has faced criticisms from some in the industry that it is posing barriers to its fintech entrepreneurs and forcing them to consider listings overseas. The U.K. has created an investment vehicle to back growth-stage financial technology companies until they can go public, in a bid to bolster Britain's global image as a fintech investment hub. It marks a rare commitment to a specialized fund focused on fintech backed by mega-industry players. While fintech-focused funds like Augmentum Fintech and Anthemis Group exist, the U.K. has yet to see a fintech-oriented fund that came about from a government-led strategy. The fund also counts Philip Hammond, the former U.K. finance minister, as an advisor.

☆ Crypto startups are getting more due diligence heat from VCs after several high-profile blowups in the industry. But loose accounting standards are making it challenging.

Investors are conducting more rigorous due diligence on crypto startups in the wake of FTX's blowup. Founders told Insider VCs are asking for background checks and more detailed performance metrics. But loose accounting standards in the industry make it hard for investors to vet company financials. After a series of bankruptcies in the crypto industry, venture capitalists are looking much more closely into the inner workings of blockchain and Web3-related startups before they cut a check. The collapse of FTX exposed serious flaws in its investors' due diligence process, several VCs and founders said.
☆ After FTX's collapse, VCs across industries are finally admitting to crypto's failures — and they're preparing for 'more blows to come'

Investors stuck to crypto startups they considered "safe bets," but FTX's failure challenges that idea. Crypto startups held yacht parties through the summer and into early fall at events such as NFT.NYC and Messari Mainnet. "The whole crypto space is a high-leverage space, and it's susceptible to cascading failures." The events of the past week are unlikely to whet risk-averse LPs' appetite for crypto, investors told Insider. Even so, several investors who have backed crypto startups told Insider that despite the industry's recent travails, they remain believers in the technology.
