Podcast Overview
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: justify;">There are over <strong>180,000 FinTech venture</strong>s out there today.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: justify;">My team tracks <strong>7.3 million of them</strong> across markets every single week.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: justify;">But the number that matters isn't the one that's growing. It's the one that isn't.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Only 25%</strong> of these ventures have secured funding and meaningful backing.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The other 75%</strong> aren't just looking for capital. They're looking for access, credibility, and partnerships with the institutions that can turn a great product into real-world impact.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: justify;">This is Scouting for Growth. I'm Sabine VanderLinden. I lead Alchemy Crew Ventures, and I built the Venture-Client Model for regulated industries... the model where a growth venture earns a corporation as its customer before a VC writes the cheque. When that sequence works, it changes the equation for everyone: founders, corporates, and the investors watching from both sides of the table.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: justify;">Each episode, I bring a founder, an operator, or an institutional leader to the table for the conversation that usually happens behind closed doors: about how corporates really think, how capital really flows, and what it actually takes to build, grow, and scale in a world where the boundaries between FinTech, InsurTech, HealthTech, and AI are dissolving by the month.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: justify;">This isn't theory. Our conversations should bring you <strong>the strategy, the tactics, and the hard-won clarity </strong>from people who control capital and collaboration.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: justify;">If you're navigating this ecosystem — as a founder, an operator, or a leader — this conversation is for you.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: justify;">Listen in.
