Asya Bradley is a visionary fintech leader, “super angel” investor, and startup builder shaping the future of financial services.
As a Founding Partner at Majority VC and Co-Founder of Kinly, she helped launch a digitally native neobank focused on advancing generational wealth for Black Americans — unlocking growth in an underserved, high-potential market segment.
Before founding Kinly, Asya drove revenue and strategic partnerships at category-defining fintechs — serving as SVP of Revenue at SilaMoney, VP of Partnerships at Socure, and as CRO and founding team member at Synapse Financial Technologies.
In 2025, she joined Stripe as Head of Startup & Venture Capital Partnerships, leveraging her founder–investor expertise to strengthen Stripe’s position in the global startup and VC ecosystem.
A prolific “super angel,” Asya has invested in dozens of early-stage companies while serving as a limited partner with Cowboy Ventures and Ganas Ventures, and on the investment committee of the Cap Table Coalition, helping unlock new capital flows to high-growth companies led by women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ founders.
A data-driven champion for expanding who gets funded, Asya brings the same strategic lens to her role as returning co-host of the Fintech Is Femme Leadership Summit IN SAN FRANCISCO, where she’s helping shape the industry’s most consequential conversations on capital, growth, and innovation.
