There are over 180,000 FinTech ventures out there today.My team tracks 7.3 million of them across markets every single week.But the number that matters isn’t the one that’s growing. It’s the one that isn’t.Only 25% of these ventures have secured funding and meaningful backing.The other 75% aren’t just looking for capital. They’re looking for access, credibility, and partnerships with the institutions that can turn a great product into real-world impact.This is Scouting for Growth. I’m Sabine VanderLinden. I lead Alchemy Crew Ventures, and I built the Venture-Client Model for regulated industries... the model where a growth venture earns a corporation as its customer before a VC writes the cheque. When that sequence works, it changes the equation for everyone: founders, corporates, and the investors watching from both sides of the table.Each episode, I bring a founder, an operator, or an institutional leader to the table for the conversation that usually happens behind closed door
