BIGCast: FinTech With Grits featuring FinTech South

Glen Sarvady, 154 Advisors sheds light on Atlanta’s understated but nationally recognized fintech scene, including interviews with Monetizr (a startup with a unique angle for monetizing mobile gaming) and David Katz, the chair of May’s upcoming FinTech South conference at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Glen and Dave highlight the TAG FinTech Innovation Award pitch competition that will grant $50,000 and a spot in ATDC Accelerate program to one outstanding FinTech startup,  the high-powered content tracks including augmented intelligence and next-generation retail & e-commerce,  and the international interest from companies in the United Kingdom, Israel and more!

FinTech South is a must-attend event for anyone interested in financial technology, for anyone who wants to know how Georgia has been able to emerge as a dominant player here, to develop the community & infrastructure to support these companies.

It’s a good experience for folks to learn, what is key is building a successful business climate in order to enable these companies to thrive? How can you replicate that attraction in your own community?
