IF I AM A START-UP, WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR DETERMINING IF I RECEIVE AN INVITE?

While we would love to invite all start-ups, we do have seating capacity constraints. When determining who to invite, we look at a variety of criteria:

1) how many competing companies we already have signed up;

2) uniqueness of your company; and

3) synergies your company might have with our members in Hero City.

Since we only have an afternoon, we have done our best to select some of the industry's leaders that are going to speak on a variety of topics including: the state of the fintech industry; innovation: and investment trends. As our speakers can only cover so much, we are hosting some of the most innovative companies to demo. The fintech companies at the event will range from data analytics to payments. We aren't industry specific so you probably can expect to see anything from consumer lending to insurance to robotic lending.
