☆ The unraveling of fintech darling Vise
  + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( Stephanie Palazzolo | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +28 min
It was April, and more than two dozen salespeople who worked for the fintech startup Vise had been ordered to a multiday off-site at the W Hoboken hotel in New Jersey to share exhaustive reports on their performance. Even salespeople at bigger, established, top-tier investment-management firms typically wouldn't close $250 million in a year, multiple sales employees said. (K-means clustering is an unsupervised machine-learning algorithm often referred to as a form of AI, Vise's founders said). (Vise's founders disputed this, saying the company received updated financial data only once a day for its portfolio-construction engine.) And to address its "leaky funnel" of overestimating prospective sales, Vise was to stop outreach to new clients while it onboards and upsells to existing clients, the document said.

Europe's neobrokerage startups face cuts and consolidation as funding dries up, sources say. For startups that can't fundraise it's "shoulders against the wall," one investor told Insider. Europe's brokerage startups are facing a winter of job cuts and consolidation as the sector battles with slumping trade volumes and a scarcity of investor cash, industry sources say. The drop-off has made raising funds a difficult exercise for many fintechs and has also led to a bifurcation in the market of the "haves and the have-nots," one London-based investor told Insider. Market consolidation will be driven by price, one fintech fund partner told Insider.
