In the wake of the $5.3 billion sale of banking API provider Plaid to Visa — a deal generally lauded as intelligent for the larger company — fintech became an even hotter part of the venture capital and startup landscape.

While companies in the broad fintech and finservices spaces were already attractive bets for private investors, Visa made them all the more attractive — a facet of the market that we presume has a great impact on startups that are working along similar lines to Plaid . Startups like Belvo, a Y Combinator-backed company that is part of the accelerator’s current, Winter 2020 batch.
