Regulatory approval as an investor and operator

Does anyone have any experience with regulatory approval as both an investor and operator in a heavily regulated industry (e.g. fintech/banking)? If you make risky investments in fintech, could you obtain/maintain regulatory approval to run a bank? I imagine VC firms deal with this quite a bit, but I'm curious how.
