Intersection Fintech Ventures

R. Scott Asen founded Intersection Fintech Ventures to target the enterprise infrastructure enabling modern financial services, operating from a single office in Ross, California, north of San Francisco. The firm identifies itself strictly as a private equity vehicle but its strategy spans the full early-stage venture lifecycle — from seed and start-up through growth and late-stage expansion — concentrating capital on business-to-business technology companies that sell into banks, insurers, and asset managers rather than disintermediating them. This posture places the firm in the picks-and-shovels layer of fintech, where the exit path often runs through strategic acquisition by the very incumbents the portfolio serves. The firm's investment strategy emphasizes enterprise software, API infrastructure, and insurance technology. While the firm does not publicly disclose its portfolio holdings, its mandate covers venture-stage checks into companies building compliance, data, and connectivity rails for regulated financial institutions. Intersection Fintech Ventures operates with a generalist venture structure, making direct equity investments without publicly known parallel funds, co-investment clubs, or fund-of-funds programs. Geographic deployment concentrates on North America, consistent with the San Francisco Bay Area and broader US fintech ecosystems that produce enterprise-focused financial technology startups. Intersection Fintech Ventures has not publicly disclosed its total assets under management, team headcount, or aggregate deployment figures. No additional offices, philanthropic vehicles, or membership networks are known from public filings or the firm's own communications. The last verifiable operational signal is the firm's maintained web presence at intersectiongp.com, confirming its continued active status. Without named portfolio companies or disclosed fund closes, the firm's investment pace and scale remain opaque to outside observers — a posture consistent with a lean, principal-led vehicle that raises and deploys capital without institutional marketing infrastructure. The firm's structural differentiator lies in its focused thesis: pure-play enterprise fintech infrastructure at the earliest stages, operating from a single-principal base without institutional LP reporting requirements. That architecture allows for concentrated conviction bets and patient holding periods that larger multi-sector firms often cannot accommodate. Succession and governance remain tied to Asen as founder and managing partner, a common structure for boutique early-stage vehicles where the investment decision-making and limited-partner relationships rest on a single key-person risk.
