Constellation Digital Partners CEO Kris Kovacs has had a whale of a year with his new start up -- and documents it in his Exec Tech Summit presentation, as well as providing a current and future status. Here are some other nuggets from his talk:

$26 million in total capital raised
$500,000 investment from Vizo Financial Corporate Credit Union
two more software releases for Constellation planned

Kris also had some words of wisdom for the audience, stating that an RFP is not a digital strategy, becoming a CUSO first is not necessary, goals between fintech and credit union need to be aligned, MVAs (Minimal Viable Agreements), and credit unions hold more than $100 billion in assets to invest in future endeavors. So the future is bright.
