I began in fintech again in 2010 once I started writing about my experiences as an investor in peer-to-peer lending platforms. Little did I do know protecting monetary innovation would turn out to be a profession.
Firstly, I needed to create a digital media firm, so Renton Media was born. It was actually accidentally that I fell into the convention enterprise. At present, we’re asserting that Fintech Nexus is returning to its roots.
Fintech Nexus’s occasion sponsors and attendees will transition to Fintech Meetup
Integral to this renewed concentrate on digital media, Fintech Nexus will discontinue its large-scale occasions. Now we have executed an settlement with Fintech Meetup that can switch our occasion sponsors and attendees over to their March occasion. To be clear, there will likely be no Fintech Nexus USA occasion in New York Metropolis subsequent yr as we had initially deliberate. Some Fintech Nexus workers have joined the Fintech Meetup staff however the core staff stays to concentrate on constructing the digital media enterprise for fintech.
This isn’t a call we took evenly. We all know lots of you’ve got liked coming to Fintech Nexus occasions for a few years. And we now have liked bringing you these occasions. However after 10 years of doing that, it was time to maneuver on to the subsequent chapter. Our ardour for fintech has by no means been stronger and we love serving the fintech neighborhood. We are going to now be capable to serve you all yr lengthy by means of our many digital retailers.
Why make this transfer now?
For these paying shut consideration, you’ll discover that we not too long ago acquired Fintech Blueprint, the publication began by trade luminary Lex Sokolin (see my latest podcast with Lex right here). You’ll doubtless see extra strikes like this one within the coming months and years as we construct a steady of main digital choices.
The demand for our digital media enterprise continues to develop however till now we now have not been in a position to give it the eye it deserves. With Fintech Meetup’s arrival on the scene, and I used to be very impressed with their first in-person occasion in March, this offered the right time to make this pivot.
Now, we will likely be extra centered on offering probably the most complete suite of digital merchandise for the fintech house together with information, evaluation, training, and knowledge.
We’re not giving up occasions utterly
Yearly we get many requests from organizations within the fintech neighborhood to assist them host small occasions. Now we have rejected these requests as a result of we wanted to focus our consideration on our large-scale occasions like Fintech Nexus USA.
With this alteration, we will likely be taking up a choose variety of shoppers with our new Occasions-as-a-Service enterprise, which creates a brand new avenue to help community-driven organizations.
The subsequent chapter
I based SocialLending.internet in 2010 with zero readers and a ardour for the promise of peer-to-peer lending. After 13 years and an amazing many great experiences, my colleagues and I’ve grown this ardour venture into one of many world’s main digital media corporations protecting monetary companies innovation.
