A team from Forbes evaluated hundreds of fintech companies, looking at everything from product novelty to customer and revenue growth to leadership team diversity. They interviewed both CEOs and industry insiders. Three categories primarily serving other businesses—Payments, Wall Street & Enterprise, and Business to Business Banking–showed the strongest, accounting for 27 of their 50 picks and seven of the 13 first-time honorees. That’s not so surprising at a time when there are no longer unlimited VC funds to lavish on big consumer marketing campaigns. The Real Estate category, hard hit by interest rates, had only two companies on the list. Blockchain and Crypto, recovering from big scandals and bankruptcies, had only three–and those were startups dedicated to building a sounder, more secure infrastructure for the future. https://youtu.be/L1macdrf8tI?si=FuDeOngVMwkibQ7E
