In this episode of FintechTalks, Sanjib sits down with Dana Warren, Venture Partner at Canaan Partners, to explore how decades of fintech experience and the power of pattern recognition are shaping the next generation of founders and investors.
Dana shares her journey from leading major partnerships at Stripe, PayPal, and American Express to joining one of Silicon Valley’s most storied venture firms.
