A competition has been launched to find the top 100 financial technology innovators from around the world. The list is being compiled by Australian-based investment firm, H2 Ventures, in collaboration with KPMG. The FinTech 100 will include both the leading 50 established FinTech ventures, and the most intriguing 50 ‘emerging stars'.
Visit www.fintechinnovators.com by 31 October and nominate your company, or anyone you think should be considered. The list will be announced in late November via a series of parallel events held in Sydney, London, Hong Kong, San Francisco and Tel Aviv. Ten emerging companies will be invited to an event in London to pitch their ideas to some of the world’s leading financial institutions, venture capital funds and investors. In addition they will receive professional services support from KPMG member firms, plus membership and discounted deal-success rates with Matchi, the online FinTech matchmaking platform.
H2 Ventures’ Ben Heap comments: “The top FinTech Innovators list was initially envisaged as a platform to uncover and track the leading startups from all over the world, but much like the industry, it has come a long way in 12 months. For this year’s list we will include companies with that X factor that captures our attention – exciting new FinTechs with bold, disruptive and potentially game-changing ideas.”
