FinTech for FinTechs Mini Hui

We are seeing increasing interest from early-stage FinTechs for information focusing on the very specific needs of earlier-stage FinTech-oriented companies. In response, FinTechNZ, in partnership with great supporters BNZ, MinterEllisonRuddWatts, NZTE and AWS, has designed a mixed format Mini-Conference on the afternoon and evening of 10 August to focus on topics that matter. This format includes inspirational guest speakers and business leaders such as Craig Hudson (ex Xero, now NZTE), Georgia Grange (country manager Revolut), Mitchell Pham (all-round NZTech rockstar), Josh Daniel (Akahu) and Nick Allen (Indicator), plus a team of roundtable facilitators from the FinTechNZ Executive Council and sponsors team.

Specialty roundtable topics cover for example;

• Technology and platforms. Product design and ensuring optimal product and market fit 
• Optimising your proposition and team for B2B and Enterprise level sales success
• Traversing barriers; legal, procurement and ensuring successful partnerships
• Surviving and thriving in tough times – building resiliency and running lean
• Investment strategies, including pitching for funding and raising capital during a recession
• Regulatory and legal considerations
• Export, trade and scaled growth

In the evening AWS is hosting an off-site FinTech dinner experience including speed matching with other invited guests from their Tier 1 finance sector networks. This is definitely an important opportunity for FinTech’s and is strictly limited to 40 business leaders to ensure high-quality conversations. Time is running out to claim your space.
