Startupbootcamp FinTech has partnered with three more financial services organisations – financial services outsourcing provider arvato Financial Solutions, investment firm Route 66 Venture, and Italian banking group Intesa Sanpaolo.
The new partnerships will provide Startupbootcamp FinTech with pilot customers, industry data, and capital and brings the total number of partners involved with Startupbootcamp FinTech to seven.
Lloyds Banking Group, MasterCard, Rabobank and SBT Venture Capital were all announced as partners earlier this year.
The 10 finalists for the 2014 Startupbootcamp FinTech programme were selected late last month by a panel of judges, including Startupbootcamp FinTech partners. The finalists are Creditable, Epiphyte, FriendlyScore, Insly, InvoiceSharing, Liquity, M-Changa, milliPay Systems, Tab and Up Investments.
The three month acceleration programme begins this week, and will see each team benefit from extensive mentorship from 100+ entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate partners, helping guide them through each of the ‘shape’, ‘build’, and ‘sell’ stages of their development. At the end of the programme, each team will be invited to present their company to 200+ investors, mentors, and partners during the Demo Day on 12 November 2014.
Nektarios Liolios, managing director at Startupbootcamp FinTech, says: “What makes Startupbootcamp FinTech different is that our mentors, investors and partners are made up of individuals from right across the financial services spectrum – not just one organisation. With the addition of arvato Financial Solutions, Route 66 Ventures and Intesa Sanpaolo today, we continue to build on this foundation, providing our startups with a huge wealth of experience which they can lean on, and learn from.”
