Startupbootcamp FinTech, the leading accelerator focused on financial innovation, has today announced the names of the 9 global startups selected to join its London program. The companies, which include teams from across Europe, America and Asia-Pacific, have been selected following a rigorous process by a working group of industry experts, including representatives from Startupbootcamp and its partners. 

The startups will participate in the three month intense acceleration program that combines a comprehensive content syllabus, hands-on working sessions with more than 400 mentors, entrepreneurs and a curated engagement with the Startupbootcamp partner companies to build partnerships, pilot projects, proof of concept or prototype.

The companies will join a growing global network of more than 3,000 investors, mentors and startups. With FinTech Programs in New York, Singapore and Amsterdam the startups will have immediate access to support network in global FinTech hubs.

The Program is backed by financial giants as MasterCard, Lloyds Banking Group, PwC, Rabobank, Intesa Sanpaolo, arvato Bertelsmann, Route66, MJ Hudson and Cognito PR who will provide their expertise, exposure channels, APIs and access to a network of industry professionals that most early stage FinTech startups would not be able to achieve otherwise on their own.

Han Veldwijk, Head of FinTech at Lloyds Banking Group commented: “As always being a part of Startupbootcamp’s Selection Days is hugely exciting; we are meeting FinTechs who are passionate about delivering new and valuable services for customers. We’ve experienced great success recently through collaboration with Startupbootcamp’s alumni WoraPay and hope to identify more opportunities as the programme progresses with the new cohort.”

Harrie Vollaard, Head of Innovation at Rabobank further added: “The 9 FinTech startups of Startupbootcamp FinTech are better than ever aligned with industry opportunities and the challenges the financial industry is facing. The potential is high and therefore we are looking forward to work together with them and we are sure we can establish several relationships during the accelerator program.”
            
Francisco Lorca, Managing Director at Startupbootcamp FinTech London commented:  “Over the last six months we have identified almost 1,000 startups, visited financial hubs across four continents and held 18 different recruitment events. During this time we have met some of the world's most interesting, innovative and promising FinTech startups. We are optimistic that startups will continue to thrive and adapt in changing circumstances and I am looking forward to working with the entrepreneurs and our partners during our program this year. We are delighted to see that the Brexit vote has not affected the innovation and enthusiasm found in startups”
