What's the key learning?

💡 As old school companies or organisations enter the new age, a large number of opportunities have emerged to fill the technology gap.

💡 We've had:

  • Fem-tech, giving a serious upgrade to women's health products
  • Tax-tech, to rescue us with tax-time solutions, and now...
  • Church-tech (or faith-tech), which doesn't get a lot of airtime, but is an industry that's been dominating.

💡 Church-tech is helping religious institutions that desperately need to innovate in order to stay relevant. And, with so many offers on the table, it looks like church-tech investors are keeping the faith.
