Hi Everyone,
Welcome to our FinTech Open Mic Night series in New York. Please join us for our monthly mixture of presentations, skype-ins, fireside chats and shout-outs plus plenty of networking.
This monthly session is designed to provide an opportunity to catch up with your peers, to see what's going on in the New York and International FinTech scenes and to tell us all about yourself and your own work.
This month's topic is Raising FinTech Funding. Along with finding Talent and Regulation, this topic keeps most FinTech Entrepreneurs awake at night. Who isn't raising? We're going to explore the options available and best practice, there are lots of options but it can take forever to close the deal, in this session we'd like to explore Angel, VC, Equity crowdfunding, Accelerators and any other sources available, please join us
