Boston New Technology's FIRST Startup Showcase of 2026: Fun With Fintech

​2026 promises to be one of BNT's biggest yet in terms of great programs and opportunities for tech innovators, next gen business moguls, creative geniuses, and more!
​Boston’s fintech ecosystem continues to redefine how money moves, how trust is built, and how access is expanded. This showcase brings together founders building the next generation of financial infrastructure—across payments, compliance, wealth, embedded finance, and financial inclusion.
​Join us for an evening of product demos, venture stories, a hard-hitting panel, and one of Shweta's epic keynotes.
​Whether you’re building, investing, or simply curious about where finance is heading, this is your front-row seat to what’s next.

This FinTech Showcase is made possible through the collaboration of Boston New Technology, Startup Grind Boston, and Silicon Valley Bank. We’re especially grateful to Jason Kraus, founder of Prepare for VC and longtime leader within Startup Grind Boston, whose steady coordination, founder outreach, and ecosystem perspective have helped shape both the caliber and flow of this program.

We’re equally thankful to Ben Maitland-Lewis and the Silicon Valley Bank Boston team for hosting and co-anchoring the evening—SVB’s continued commitment to supporting founders in regulated and capital-intensive markets makes them a natural home for this conversation. Together, these partners ensure the showcase is not just an event, but a meaningful convening point for FinTech founders, operators, and supporters across the Boston ecosystem.
