Dear colleagues, portfolio companies, partners, and friends,
It’s hard to believe we’re already in the second quarter of 2022! Throughout these first few months, our teams have continued to invest in category-defining startups and push ahead on incubation initiatives in collaboration with our business partners.
Our inaugural external quarterly update covers the five trends we are watching in 2022—including Digital Economies, the subject of many of our Perspectives articles in Q1—and spotlights our newest portfolio companies, from climate fintech Doconomy to blockchain compliance platform TRM Labs. We are also proud to share the video replay of our first-ever external Innovators@Citi event, on “Cracking the Customer Code.”
We encourage you to read through the articles below and to share this newsletter with others, who are welcome to subscribe via the button above.
In this virtual fireside chat, Head of Citi Ventures Arvind Purushotham talked to Shawn Carolan of Menlo Ventures and Sarah Levy, CEO of Betterment—a fintech that is part
of both Citi Ventures’ and Menlo Ventures’ portfolios— about how to create, scale, and monetize habit-forming products and services.
