We have been a member of Vation Ventures startup council for a little under a year. This brings us opportunities to gain visibility into the startup market and identify prospective opportunities that might fit.

It's not an option for a small community bank. Risks would be too great, and regulators wouldn't agree.

At Taimingo we are a startup, so naturally we engage with startups as we in IT are looking for startups who provide value to our pivot environment.

We engage startups as a way to understand up and coming technology trends and also as part of regular M&A investigations.
