As a leading data aggregation and analytics platform powering dynamic, cloud-based innovation for digital financial services, Envestnet® | Yodlee® is always eager to support the FinTech community to foster innovation across the ecosystem. That's why we're proud to support Empire Startups and their monthly gatherings and conferences in New York City and San Francisco, as well as their upcoming FinTech Conference in Toronto. Empire Startups is the largest community of FinTech entrepreneurs, investors, and banking innovators in the world. Their goal is to improve and accelerate innovation by bringing together developers, entrepreneurs, and investors to different meetups and special events. We started our partnership in 2015 by participating in the New York meetup, and two developer conferences in San Francisco and New York. At these meetups, Empire Startups brought together 100 – 200 thought leaders for panel sessions, demo days, and fireside chats about FinTech trends and innovations.
At the same time, we would ask CTOs to talk on a technical level, or even give a demo on their technology, to attendees. Empire Startups event topics have focused on innovations in payments, digital mortgage, personal financial management, blockchain, lending, and more. 2017 promises to be a banner year for Empire Startups.
The organization has grown from hosting just a few events to meetups and conferences in three different cities in North America. In collaboration with several partners, the Empire Startups team has managed to book some powerhouse speakers, and we think our attendees will be pleased. In addition, we are happy to be the exclusive data aggregation and analytics partner this year. You can plan to network with industry professionals and investors, as well as make important connections, at the upcoming Empire Startups meetups, including:
