Startups are an important part of the Fintech South community. Innovation Challenge is an annual program that recognizes innovative U.S. fintech startups with ties to Georgia. Eligibility for the program, which includes both cash and in-kind awards for the winning company, is limited to founders of early-stage companies who have raised less than $1 million in funding and are based in (or committed to relocating to) Georgia. Read more about Innovation Challenge here, including past winners, program details and eligibility requirements.

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!
