In this episode of The Treasury Whisperer’s Talkcast Podcast, host Seth Marlowe interviews Eric Schwartz, Operating Partner at Canapi Ventures (www.canapi.com), for a wide-ranging conversation on fintech investing, bank strategy, AI, digital assets, embedded finance, and the evolving relationship between banks and technology providers. Eric shares how Canapi’s bank-backed venture model helps connect financial institutions with fintech and enterprise software companies, why founder-market fit matters, and where banks should focus amid the growing noise around AI, stablecoins, blockchain, and modernization. Seth and Eric also explore the shift of deposits and commercial banking experiences into ERP platforms, the importance of cleanand connected data, the challenge of bank-fintech vendor onboarding, and why the future of financial services depends on letting humans do what humans do best while machines handle what machines are built to do.Links:Eric Schwartz on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-l-schwartz/Seth Marlowe on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/treasurywhisperer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Treasury Whisperer's Talkcast Podcast website: https://www.treasurywhispererstalkcast.comThe Treasury Whisperer's Talkcast Podcast on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/treasury-whisperer%E2%80%99s-talkcast-podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Treasury Whisperer Network on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/treasurywhisperernetwork/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a Patreon Member of The Treasury Whisperer's Talkcast Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/treasurywhisperer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Treasury Whisperer's Talkcast Podcast is a production of Treasury Whisperer LLC © 2025-2026Any re-broadcast, re-transmission or other use of this podcast without the expressed written consent of Treasury Whisperer LLC is strictly prohibited.
