Plaid has acquired This Week in Fintech. 🎉 For years, TWIF has been the pulse of the fintech ecosystem — a trusted, consistent source for operators, builders, and investors trying to make sense of a fast-moving industry. We are huge fans of what TWIF has evolved into, and plan to help it grow with more resources, more formats, and more ways for the community to connect — all while preserving the editorial independence and voice that TWIF subscribers trust. The TWIF team will continue to decide what to cover and how, and we look forward to expanding content formats and channels, as well as opportunities for the fintech community to come together. Plaid sits at the center of a broad network across fintech, traditional finance, and consumers. We've always believed a stronger, more informed ecosystem benefits everyone. This is an investment in the people and ideas shaping what comes next. We can't wait to see where TWIF goes from here.
