The firm is currently raising its third fund, a $100M fintech fund anchored by Bank of America, focused on early growth funding rounds.

Adrian is also a regular contributor on CNBC on the state of Venture capital in the US and the firm has recently been covered in Forbes, Bloomberg, and The Boston Globe. The Mendoza family just recently launched Mendoza Impact a philanthropic initiative to help fund diverse and female founders and funds mangers.
