Why Fintech Accelerator?
We are looking for Fintech, PropTech, RegTech, Cybersecurity, Blockchain and InsurTech startups and can accommodate the needs of early stage teams and also more mature teams with MRR above 5K EUR. While idea and product of course is important, we are mostly looking for solid & passionate teams with global ambitions and power to execute!
At Startup Wise Guys, we’ve been accelerating startups since 2012, with already one major exit from our portfolio & overall startup survival rate of 77%. Having worked with 20 Fintechs already – well, we have what it takes to help Fintech startups GO BIG!
