About the Fintech Club

If there’s one sector that continues to both delight and surprise while demonstrating inexorable growth and edge-of-your-seat innovation, it’s fintech.

Though the financial industry is largely associated with some of the biggest banks and financial institutions in the world, fintech is one of the few industries where small startups can compete on the same level as the established finance behemoths – even in fiercely competitive markets.

But it's hard, right? From building credibility and trust to fundraising, we understand the challenges facing fintech entrepreneurs in the current climate - and we want to help.
