Amex Ventures?

Hi,

Has anyone experienced have information on Amex Ventures (www.amexventures.com)? Is this just their corpdev team re-named or a separate VC manager, funded by Amex? Curious to hear anything on street reputation, culture, team size, target deals, and comp/promotion (particularly whether they use phantom shares or other LTIP to mirror carry). Would be great to hear experienced professional's views as I would be looking at a more mid-level role.

Thank you

Don’t know them but their deal volume fell off a cliff in 2023 - They did ~4 deals compared to 15-19 the last few years before.

I do work in Coprorate Venture. A couple questions I would want to know before joining: How are deals approved? Is there an investment committee and do you need an AmEx GM/SVP to sponsor every deal? Are team members specializing in areas of FinTech or are you all generalists within the space? Do you work closely with M&A, partnerships, or strategy teams?
