On RegTech: renewed interest because there are HUGE exits. Would love your take on the $2.6bln acquisition MC made last week of Recorded Future... "will add to Mastercard’s identity, fraud prevention, real-time decisioning and cybersecurity services, bringing expanded threat intelligence capabilities to its network of merchants and financial institutions".
Sedric raises $18.5M Series A for AI-based fintech compliance platform is also notable.
On Ansa: pro-tip to them is to really-really understand what is the pain-point they are solving for their Customer's customer which is often missed in B2B sales (I am often guilty of this). Case in point, I use to have 2 starbucks accounts. One for work and one for personal. For work, I used to schedule at least 2 meetings a week at a Starbucks not because I loved the coffee. Branches are ubiquitous in Singapore and the Starbucks experience is predicable. Best part, at the end of the month I downloaded all the receipts from the app and loaded them into Expensify. It appealed to my loss-aversion bias because I know I didn't miss out on an expense item.
Another great issue as always:
