Alliance Gives Startups Access to Crucial Fintech Markets
NEW YORK & SHANGHAI — JadeValue Fintech and INV Fintech announced today that they formed a partnership to enhance financial technology startups in the United States and China.
The partnership will have INV introducing startups in its accelerator to JadeValue for investment and/or introduction to the Chinese market through JadeValue or its parent company, CashBUS, a leading personal lender in China. The investments will be made on a case-by-case basis, with JadeValue determining in which startups it will invest.
INV, meanwhile, will consider startups in the JadeValue incubator for introduction to INV’s partnership network.
