Victoria Treyger. Contributor. Share on Twitter. Victoria Treyger is a managing director at Felicis Ventures. It’s been quite an eventful year. Fintech has fallen a long way from the highs of 2021, and while 2022 was largely about the reset of the funding environment, 2023 is going to be a year of recalibration for fintech companies. The great news is that large enterprise and midmarket companies care more than ever about bottom-line impact.

This past year was tumultuous for venture investors, to say the least. The ecosystem watched as startup funding dried up , held its breath as a $32 billion venture-backed company evaporated almost overnight and witnessed one of the largest startup acquisitions of all time.
