/ 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. Five post-launch startups.
Vetted alongside BMO executives.
Real traction, strong operators, building across estate tech, ag fintech, commercial real estate, and corporate treasury. Collectively, our alumni have created 220+ jobs and raised over $51M in capital.
This year we're taking the cohort on a roadshow across Toronto, Chicago, LA, and NYC.
This is the LA stop, hosted in partnership with How Women Invest.
This lunch brings founders together with operators, financial institutions, and CVC-adjacent leaders across the LA ecosystem — a smaller, focused setting built for real conversation.
