#378: Logan Allin of Fin Capital

If you go back just nine months, you will remember a time when fintech founders were raising capital with ease. Nine-figure funding rounds were the norm, and a new fintech unicorn was minted almost every day at ever higher valuations. Today, the pendulum has swung in the completely opposite direction where any funding round is a surprise with down rounds and layoffs now the norm.To make sense of all this craziness, we invited Logan Allin, the founder and managing partner at Fin Capital, to the podcast.
