Co-Lab Overview
The Account Aggregator Co-Lab, an initiative by WestBridge Capital and Finvu, aims to foster innovation and growth within the fintech ecosystem by leveraging the Account Aggregator (AA) framework. In this program, we are looking to identify and support fintech startups developing or planning to build new products and solutions or augment their existing products with AA capabilities.
