After 100+ applications from around the globe, 11 post-seed and pre-series B stage Fintech companies have been selected and are ready to scale to new heights through the NadiFin Fintech Accelerator program, powered by MiddleGame Ventures and Farvest in partnership with the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT).
Eleven of the most promising Fintech companies from around the world will convene at NadiFin beginning May 20th in Luxembourg, adjacent ICT Spring, before reconvening in Dublin from June 10-14. The cohort will participate in a customized curriculum built from the ground up with experienced venture capital knowledge from MiddleGame Ventures. These efforts will be supplemented by real world mentorship and engagement with financial services and technology partners working on key Proof of Concept challenges.
“The NadiFin program gives unparalleled insights into which startup is ready and which is not, when it comes to achieving the next level of investment and commercial traction”, explains Pascal Bouvier, Managing Partner, MiddleGame Ventures.
“Fantastic cohort and strong companies,” commented Nasir Zubairi, CEO, LHoFT Foundation.” We are really happy to co-host this great program in Luxembourg, add value to the local ecosystem by bringing new and innovative solutions to the financial services industry as well as providing a great launchpad for Fintech firms wanting to access the broader EU market.”
