Who should sponsor FinovateSpring?

FinovateSpring brings together a diverse cross-section of the fintech industry, which means that our sponsors are diverse as well. With such a high number of banking executives in the room, there’s an obvious fit for anyone who sells into FIs, but that’s just one piece of it.

Due to the high number of recently-funded startups and scale-ups on site, supporting businesses can also find a lot of value, including HR solutions, payroll solutions, legal firms, PR agencies, expense management firms, corporate travel providers, etc. And there are some things that everyone in the industry needs, like cloud services, compliance/auditing/accounting firms, security platforms, and connectivity providers.
