DEBATE & LIVE PODCAST: Are We in a FinTech Bubble?
Main Stage
Moderator: Will White, 11:FS
You’re in for a treat from our friends at 11:FS. Here is the format of the debate: There will be four rounds, where the panel will be discussing the following: valuations, consolidation, hype and culture. Each team will have one lead debater who will lead a 90-second pitch on that topic, after which point the floor is open for everyone to join in, and add their expertise or just generally smack talk the other side.

PANEL: The Challenger Banks are Coming, The Challenger Banks are Coming!
Main Stage
Capitalized to the gills, today’s challenger banks can afford to spend hundreds of dollars to acquire your business. The stockpile of venture money also means they can afford not to charge you fees, even for services in which technology hasn’t yet driven out the cost. How and when will we know it’s working and who is really innovating in the US?

PANEL: Innovation Masterclass-Labs, Incubators, Accelerators, Sandboxes, Oh My!
Bank Innovator Stage

PANEL: Data is the New More Valuable than Oil. Who is Drilling?
Bank Innovator Stage
Moderator: Rachel Marmor, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP
There is no doubt that the use of customer data will only accelerate in FinTech. If data and AI represent the future of how financial services products will be marked and customer will be acquired, who is doing the drilling? What are the most surprising and unique datasets out there and who actually owns the data?

PANEL: VC Rearview Mirror – What We Had Right and Wrong
Moderator: Karen Rios, Lifesaver
Entrepreneurs and investors alike must constantly learn and iterate from their experience. We found a panel of straight-shooting FinTech venture veterans to share what they had right, and for each of those instances, nine they had wrong. After all, in venture, it’s all about outliers.
