Core offering

Better Tomorrow Ventures is a venture capital firm that leads pre-seed and seed-stage financing rounds in fintech companies worldwide, deploying $500,000–$4,000,000 checks out of a $450M institutional fund and pairing capital with hands-on operating support across hiring, GTM, partnerships, and follow-on fundraising. The firm also convenes its portfolio founders through the annual Camp BTV community gathering and surfaces curated fintech insights via its blog and The Fintech Update newsletter.

Product overview

Better Tomorrow Ventures (BTV) is a single-firm venture capital platform (rather than a multi-product software suite) focused exclusively on early-stage fintech investing. Its core offering is the BTV Fund, which leads pre-seed and seed rounds globally with $500k–$4m checks and $450m AUM. Layered on top of the fund are ancillary founder-services: Camp BTV (annual founder community gathering), The Fintech Update newsletter by JC Bahr-de Stefano, the BTV Content/Blog on Ghost, the BTV Jobs Board (jobs.btv.vc) for portfolio hiring, and the public BTV Portfolio / Companies Showcase that catalogs the firm's investments by region, sector, and stage. Together these programs position the fund as an extension of the founding team rather than a stand-alone software product.
