During the month prior to Fintech South 2022, the founders of our 2022 cohort companies engaged in a full month of curated education programs and mentoring that have become a hallmark of this world-class startup engagement program presented by the Technology Association of Georgia, the producers of Fintech South.
Our cohort of companies participated in a special showcase event where the founders made their pitch and received candid feedback from an all-star group of fintech VCs. Then, at Fintech South 2022, our top 3 finalists competed on the Mainstage for a $25,000 cash prize!
