What is FinTech?
FinTech is financial technology or technology used specifically within the financial services sector. It can also describe businesses that provide financial services through technology or are technology providers to the financial services players, such as software, cloud services and mobile technology. Many products are designed to provide consumers with ease of use but FinTech also includes technologies for businesses as well.
We know that your business objectives will not stop at the border so neither do we. Our team operates internationally, spending significant time in both New York and Silicon Valley. We have deep experience advising companies of all sizes, whether financial institutions or technology providers. We also have experience in mentoring FinTech companies at accelerators and within shared workspaces like the FinTech Innovation Lab.
