EXPANDING THE BOUNDARIES OF FINTECH
Call for Startup Applications
At a time when Plaid has a webinar entitled 'Learn how to become a fintech company in 60 days', and OpenSea's NFT marketplace monthly volume is on track to surpass $3.4billion, we find the borders of Fintech continuing to democratize and broaden. Is FinTech the embedded APIs, or the apps that use them? Is fintech limited to crypto currency, or does it encompass the entire Web3 world of decentralized ownership?
The EvoNexus Silicon Valley Fintech Incubator, along with our strategic sponsors Royal Bank of Canada and Franklin Templeton, is now accepting applications for our 2022 cohort from early stage (seed) startups that explore these expanding boundaries of fintech.
Some examples, though by no means limits, of what we seek include:
- Disruptive Commerce - location-based recommendations, checkout lending and virtual shopping experiences
- Interactive & Digital Entertainment - esports, gaming, in-game currencies & payments
- Wellness Tech – digitizing mind, body, and spirit
- Financial/Investment EdTech – financial literacy, personalized learning
- Property Tech - fractional ownership, neighborhood analytics
