👋 Hey, Linas here! Welcome to a special issue of my daily newsletter. Each day, I focus on 3 stories that are making a difference in the financial technology space. Coupled with things worth watching & most important money movements, it’s the only newsletter you need for all things when Finance meets Tech. If you’re reading this for the first time, it’s a brilliant opportunity to join a community of 360k+ FinTech leaders:

Every tech cycle (especially artificial intelligence) has two games being played at once.

One is loud: foundation models, trillion-parameter arms races, splashy valuations.

The other is quiet, and far more investable.

Today, I’m sharing with you an exclusively curated startup list that lives in the second game.

Inside are the top 25 most interesting AI startups this year, as well as their exclusive pitch decks.

These startups don’t talk about AI. They’re deploying it where money already moves:

→ AI agents quietly running HR, finance, sales, legal, IT, and healthcare
→ Factories where software compresses lead times from months to weeks
→ Platforms that turn pitch decks, bodycam footage, contracts, and conversations into structured, usable assets
→ Consumer products where AI mediates trust, relationships, and identity
→ Enterprise tools that don’t demo well, but never get turned off

Some help family offices manage billions.

Some sell to Fortune 500 legal teams.

Some replace entire job functions with always-on AI workers.

Others don’t touch software at all, and still might be the most defensible bets here.

If you want a map of where AI actually monetizes in 2025 & 2026 - across FinTech, healthcare, manufacturing, compliance, sales, and operations - this is it.

Unlock the decks.

See who’s backing them.

Steal the patterns.

On top of that, you will unlock full access to Top AI Agent Startups of 2025 (& their decks), the Top 100 AI Startups of 2024 (with lots of pitch decks, lead investors & more inside!), the ultimate LLM toolkit, and the storytelling patterns that make frontier startups irresistible.

Because the decks are short. The implications are not. So let’s dive in:
