/ About this event

Join us for an evening with the founders and investors defining fintech's next chapter.

WMNfintech is a nonprofit fintech accelerator run by 1871 and BMO, bringing a cohort of high-growth fintech startups to major financial hubs across North America. Since launching in 2020, it's grown into North America's largest network of its kind — helping entrepreneurs unlock resources, strengthen go-to-market strategy, and build lasting industry connections.

Cohort founders have strong traction, building across estate tech, ag fintech, commercial real estate, and corporate treasury. Collectively, alumni have created 220+ jobs and raised over $51M in capital.

This year's cohort is on a roadshow across Toronto, Chicago, NYC and LA. This is the LA stop, hosted in partnership with How Women Invest.

A curated dinner with key investors in the LA ecosystem, built for conversation between founders and the investors actively deploying capital in fintech.
