Chime & Menlo Ventures talk fintech on TechCrunch Live | Oct. 13

Shawn Carolan (Menlo Ventures) + Chris Britt (Chime) talk fintech this Wednesday, October 13th

In a world where fintech is so hot right now, and investors are being swept up by their excitement for the space, Chime has managed to ride the wave to near perfection. The company has raised upwards of $2.6 billion, including a fresh $750 million just this year.

The startup, playing in the fee-free banking space, now has a valuation of $25 billion. Sources told The Wall Street Journal that an IPO is on the horizon for the startup.

So, we’re more than thrilled to announce that Chime founder and CEO Chris Britt will be joining us on an upcoming episode of TechCrunch Live (formerly Extra Crunch Live). Britt will be joined by Shawn Carolan of Menlo Ventures, who led the company’s Series C funding round back in 2018.

TechCrunch Live is a free, weekly event that lets folks in the audience connect with founders and the investors who finance them to learn how to build better venture-backed businesses.

This episode of TCL goes down on October 13 at noon PDT/3 p.m. EDT.

See you there!
