Venture capital firm True Global Ventures, in collaboration with its partners, has announced that it will hold its next Fintech event in Stockholm this coming fall (November 1 & 2), following the success of its previous pitch competition in April.

For the upcoming event, the company is expanding its horizon, focusing on the Nordic countries but also including companies from the global field in the search for the most driven Fintech startups to join the startup competition.

The focus for this event is directed towards:

• Blockchain enabling for example lending, but also other areas
   
• Insuretech
   
• Credit Scoring

Although companies within these three segments are preferred, any early stage Fintech startup – founded within 5 years and having existing customers – can send their applications.

The winner will be selected by the audience, which comprises CEOs, Chief Innovation Officers, Corporate Venture, M&A and business leaders from banks, finance, insurance, telcos and media nearing fintech and venture capital firms. The event will be kept on an invitation-basis with a targeted audience from contacts/organisations that are potential customers, distribution partners and/or investors.

In addition to the marketing/networking opportunities that may arise, there is also a cash prize for the winner of this competition.

The industry and investors are welcome to nominate their portfolio companies. A nomination should have the founder CC:ed and an application should contain details on the team, market, competition, business model, traction, problem solved & description of solution, and user case of paying customers/partnerships.

Interested candidates can send their applications by July 27th, which will be evaluated by a jury consisting of industry and investors. Those that pass this vetting will be invited to semi-final and finals in Stockholm November 1 & 2.
