Join Cindy Gallop (Founder & CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn) & Noah Landow (Founder & CEO at Macktez) for an informal conversation about the surprisingly complex, conservative, & convoluted financial services companies that together to form the secretive layers underpinning the electronic financial systems we take advantage of every day. Underneath the shiny Stripe, Apple Pay, Square & well-heeled Visa, MasterCard, & Amex, lies a sprawling world of companies & services that connect the worlds financial institutions to each other & you.nCindy is an unabashed voice, advocating for more women founders, & embodying the principles for which she argues, for reform of this ever-more powerful industry. During this engaging conversation, we will explore how the poorly understood world of financial services controls what art is created, what companies are founded & funded, & what businesses are able to get the money they need to build exciting tools. Strange & surprisingly limitations & conventions abound in this space, hidden largely from view, & wrapped in euphemism & innuendo. It dictates who has access to resources, & gatekeeps access to reaching financial success across a spectrum of people & companies.nJoin us at the Macktez office, after work, over light snacks & sips, for a thought-provoking discussion on how a broader, deeper understanding of FinTech could enable positive change to create greater opportunities for equity in the decades ahead.nnEvent StructurenWe ask that guests arrive between 7-7:30 pm to minimize disruption during the talk.nn7 pm - Doors open, opportunity to mingle over snacks & sips with other attendeesn7:30 pm - Guests take their seats for the talkn8:15 pm - Informal mixer resumesnnOn AttendancenWe have a limited capacity (and often have a long waitlist!).
