What happened
From funder CEOs to ISO network builders, these five women are breaking barriers and building some of the fastest-growing companies in alternative finance.
Moneyline confirmed the details with 2 people with direct knowledge, who asked not to be named because the matter is not yet public. This story on women in finance is developing; we will update it as filings and statements land.
