ResilienceVC bucks trend, unveils $56M fund to back fintechs working on financial inclusion


ResilienceVC, a new seed-stage fintech venture capital firm based out of Washington, D.C., is announcing its $56 million debut fund, the firm shared

Founded by Tahira Dosani and Vikas Raj in 2023, ResilienceVC’s mission is a straightforward one: to back fintech companies dedicated to helping Americans find financial stability. Examples of their achievements include Dosani helping launch Afghanistan’s first mobile payments platform while on the ground in the country and Raj founding a microlending company in Bangalore, India, which sparked his interest in microfinance and led him to invest in fintech. Overall, with ResilienceVC, the pair are hoping to buck a trend that we’ve seen in fintech investing: businesses focused on high-net-worth customers or large enterprises.
