FINTECH65 2024 Alumni
Fintech65 was set up to celebrate the best of Singapore’s Fintech talent while also highlighting opportunities amongst the leaders for peer-to-peer learning and mentorship. Fintech65 initiative invites members of the Fintech community to nominate established and emerging leaders and founders across different nomination categories each year. Fintech65 honors and recognizes these industry trailblazers who have demonstrated their work, vision, leadership, and innovation in driving forward Singapore’s Fintech industry.
In 2024, Fintech65 recognized 65 leaders across the following three categories:
🤝
Friends of Fintech
Startups need access to the right ecosystem partners and enablers spanning industry players, such as professional services and accounting firms, lawyers, marketing and branding, and co-working spaces. We aim to recognise the efforts of these players who support the startups with the building blocks they need to grow and expand upon.
🙋🏻♀️
Women Board Members
A report we co-authored last year showed that, on average, only 13% of the boards in the ASEAN fintech landscape have women board members/ observers. We aim to recognise these distinguished women leaders' accomplishments while advocating for more inclusive board representation.
🌱
Emerging Investors
For Singapore startups and the venture capital industry to scale, ensuring a new pool of emerging investors is crucial as associate, analyst, and portfolio manager. We aim to recognise talent in investment roles for less than six years to focus on previously unrecognised talent.
