## About Alloy Labs

VC Fund · Minneapolis, United States

Alloy Labs is an ecosystem built by community banks for community banks, and it’s centered around three main hubs:The first is the Alloy Labs Alliance, a consortium of nearly 90 banks from across the country, totaling over $250 billion in assets. By finding opportunities to work together, they have an unfair advantage; and that is access to theresources of a top 10 bank while maintaining their independence and local control.The second hub is our Alloy Alchemist Fund. That is our strategy-led venture capital fund where banks gain another competitive advantage; access to game-changing technologies and partnerships from vetted fintech companies who are reinventing, not just replumbing the banking industry.The third hub is the Alloy Labs Institute, where we apply industry-leading tools, frameworks, and best practices to help financial institutions mitigate emerging risks and unlock new sources of growth effectively and efficiently.We aggregate insights from every node, and each hub is a force-multiplier for all the others; which means that participants in any one part are benefiting from the powerful network effects of the entire ecosystem.
