Hi Everyone,

Welcome to our FinTech Open Mic Night series in New York. Please join us for our monthly mixture of presentations, skype-ins, fireside chats and shout-outs plus plenty of networking.

This monthly session is designed to provide an opportunity to catch up with your peers, to see what's going on in the New York and International FinTech scenes and to tell us all about yourself and your own work.

This month we're hosting a Shark Tank, the familiar Shark vs Entrepreneur pitch. Each Entrepreneur gets to pitch to our Sharks who each have $1Million in virtual money to invest, whoever gets the greatest total investment wins the event.

If you're a seed stage FinTech company looking for funding then you will definitely want to pitch at this event, please drop one of the Organisers a line if you'd like a slot.
