A curated fintech and AI gathering during New York Tech Week, bringing together founders and investors operating at the forefront of financial innovation.

This is an application-based event designed for those actively building, raising, and deploying capital across fintech, AI, payments, wealthtech, and regtech.

The evening features a curated lineup of startup pitches from selected founders, followed by an investor panel sharing real perspectives on what is getting funded in today's market.
