What others say about Reinventure Group
Moments from other conversations on the network where Reinventure Group comes up.
When I joined Reinventure, they were the only primarily fintech-focused venture fund, and in fact, they cropped up in the absence of an appetite for investing in fintech across the venture capital ecosystem.”
the reason I made the jump from fintech and from Reinventure to Startmate was to be back at the real coalface of all of that.”
Danny Gilligan's a good mate of mine at Reinventure who's one of the people I probably rate the highest that I've ever worked with.”
