Re-watch: Leeds Open Mic FinTech Showcase 30/09
Joe Roche / 30th September 2021
On the 30th September, as part of the Leeds Digital Festival, FinTech North brought the northern FinTech community together virtually for an Open Mic FinTech Showcase.
The format was simple – we reached out to the community and asked anyone with a FinTech business or idea to pitch and present. This offered the community the chance to get feedback on a business or idea, put a call-out for collaboration or update the community on some of the work they’re doing in FinTech.
We were delighted to feature several FinTechs new to FinTech North, including companies from Manchester, Newcastle, Hull and Grimsby.
We recorded the event, so if you weren’t able to join us live you can catch up. Just click here to view the recording and scroll down to see speaker timings!
