On November 12th, 2026, over 20 venture capitalists, private equity partners, angel investors, and family office principals will come together to examine the investment opportunities emerging from the transformation of financial services.

The event will open with an investor roundtable discussion “The Fintech Investment Reality Check: Where Are the Real Opportunities for Growth and Returns?” Investors will exchange perspectives on where genuine opportunities exist across the fintech landscape and how to distinguish promising businesses from market hype. The discussion will explore challenges such as outdated financial infrastructure, regulatory complexity, institutional adoption, customer acquisition, and the path to profitability. Participants will also consider how emerging technologies can solve meaningful financial-services problems, what creates defensible competitive advantages, and which business models have the potential to deliver sustainable growth and attractive returns.

Special Guest Expert: Fred Rizzo, CFA
