Two Hot Spots on Chicago’s FinTech Scene

KPMG reports global fintech VC funding will be up 36% over last year’s record at the current funding pace. Chicago’s global prominence in derivative exchanges and its vibrant community of fintech professionals may magnify its role in this wave compared to others.
The meeting offers you a close-up view of two local fintech startups and the opportunity to compare notes and update your expectations about the magnitude of Chicago’s participation in the global fintech innovation wave.
Both speakers will touch on these key themes:
- Conception of the startup idea
- Getting the ball rolling
- Demonstration of key platform functionalities
- Reception of the idea and the product
There will be generous time for questions and discussion.
