Looking back at 2025
Head of Citi Venturess
As 2025 draws to a close, I want to reflect on another impactful year for Citi Ventures. We completed 12 new investments and spoke at more than 30 events during this past year. Our collective activities showcased our focus and knowledge on important topics, including Fintech, WealthTech, AI and Cybersecurity.
As such, we have curated a selection of our top thought leadership pieces from 2025. I invite you to read and watch the content, which includes founder Q&As, videos from the Citi Gen AI Summit and articles on agentic commerce and hyper-personalization.
