Cash-strapped founders who didn't want to fundraise in a down market and get valuations slashed are running out of options and time.
They dominated the fintech market in the past several years, but the shine is wearing off, Shriner said.
Fintech VCs will get to spend more time on due diligence, looking beyond so-called "vanity metrics," Fernandez said.
