Fintech has turned the banking world on its head. From digital transactions to mobile investing, startups have begun to significantly change the way we interact with money. Now that banks have begun to see the value in this kind of innovation, accelerators and incubators of all shapes and sizes have begun popping up to find the next big thing in fintech. And, if we’re lucky, the first Fintech Valley Accelerator cohort could be the one to do it.
Announced earlier this month, the accelerator program is the first of its kind coming out of Fintech Valley, the global fintech ecosystem in India seeking to spur innovation and support growth in the fintech space. The 12-week program will provide all the bells and whistles of a standard accelerator, like mentorship, training, and general support, with the backing of a global organization seeking to change the financial world for the better.
