Seven fintech companies will be selected from amongst the applications. Each will be given seven minutes to pitch their product live to the audience of financial advisors, wealth management executives, asset managers, venture and private equity investors, and media. Each presentation will be professionally recorded, edited, and published on the Future Proof YouTube channel, and distributed to over 200,000 financial services professionals digitally. Additionally, selected companies will receive a complimentary event pass and five Hosted Breakthru Meetings.

Companies must submit an application to be considered.

“Future Proof Festival is at the forefront of financial innovation, and the Fintech Demo Drop – one of our most talked about sessions – is quite literally the main stage of this transformation,” said Matt Middleton, CEO of Future Proof. “We're not just demonstrating new tools; we're launching the next generation of financial technology into the public eye, with previous year’s presenters going on to win awards and grow their businesses substantially. If you're developing something that could reshape the future of finance, Future Proof is your platform to shine.”

Applications to become one of the seven fintech providers featured at Future Proof will be accepted now through July 16. Any company building fintech tools and products is invited to apply, as Future Proof aims to feature emerging technologies in this showcase.
