In this episode of Between Builds, Tiffany sits down with Pam Kaur, a powerhouse in Fintech who operates at the high-stakes intersection of banking, venture capital, and platform leadership. Pam currently leads platform at Alloy Labs and was recently honored by NYC Fintech Women as one of the "Inspiring Fintech Females of 2025."

But as Pam explains, her journey isn't just a collection of impressive titles—it’s a masterclass in the "unlearning" required to lead with conviction. From her upbringing as a child of immigrants where "women should be seen and not heard," to navigating male-dominated boardrooms where she was once told she’d be the "prettiest boss," Pam has had to fight to keep her voice from shrinking.

Tiffany and Pam dive deep into:

• Fintech with Heart: Why Pam traded her dream of being a fashion editor for computer science, and how her Substack is humanizing an industry often blinded by transactions.
• The "Hostess" Mindset: How Pam uses her platform to open doors for others, acting as a translator between founders’ lived realities and VCs’ financial goals.
• Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Managing the tension of having a voice in rooms where you weren’t designed to be, and the power of being willing to be wrong.
• The Power of the Ask: Why women often struggle to bridge the gap between personal friendship and professional networking, and how to stop "shrinking" out of fear of asking for too much.

This conversation is for anyone sitting in their own "between" season—learning to trust their intuition, advocate for their worth, and step into the arena even when imposter syndrome is screaming the loudest.
