Investment thesis

Better Tomorrow Ventures (BTV) is an early-stage, fintech-focused fund that leads pre-seed and seed rounds in fintech companies globally, with check sizes of $500k–$4m and $450m in AUM. Founded by experienced operators — NerdWallet co-founder Jake Gibson and serial fintech entrepreneur Sheel Mohnot — BTV takes a broad view of fintech, encompassing payments, banking-as-a-service, insurance, lending, compliance, and vertical SaaS with a financial layer. The firm believes 'financial technology will create a better tomorrow' and that 'the massive digitization opportunity is still ahead of us,' with AI poised to transform labor-intensive financial services functions such as underwriting, compliance, fraud detection, and accounting. BTV differentiates itself by being operators first: the entire team has built and exited fintech companies, enabling them to provide hands-on support with hiring, GTM strategy, product, regulatory challenges, and fundraising. They co-invest alongside most Tier 1 VCs and position themselves as the founder's first call — from idea through IPO.

There's a massive shortage of accountants. Accounting firms are all turning away business, and it's a perfect application for AI. Financial Services is very labor-intensive. There's underwriting, compliance, fraud detection, customer support — AI can do all that at a lower cost.
