The 2023 Live from Money 20/20 series of podcasts concludes with Brian Kass of TruStage Ventures, who gives his eagle-eye perspective on the hot topics that will continue long after Las Vegas. Has venture funding dried up? Is there more to AI at present than ChatGPT mania? What does it take to get fintech leaders and FIs on the same page? With his many years of experience as a fintech investor and M&A strategist, Kass helps us make sense of the most stimulating convention floor conversations.
