Ascension is an incubation program for early-stage fintech startups
It has now been over four years since Fintech Cadence has been developing Canada’s fintech leaders. For 2020, we set ourselves the goal to scale our program across Canada and in doing so, we hit a new record of entrepreneurs wanting to participate in Ascension.
From 31 applications, we have chosen 15 teams who represent 4 Canadian Provinces: Quebec (x7), Ontario (x6), Alberta (x1) and British Columbia (x1), and that are spread across various verticals such as Payments, Insurance, Personal Finance Management, Alternative Investing, Alternative Lending, Cybersecurity, Crypto and PropTech.
This year we’re making it bigger and better – and we’re excited to be joined by over 75 renowned experts from the Canadian fintech community to help these teams over the course of the next 12 weeks through 1-on-1 sessions and workshops.
Stay tuned for the Demo-Day where you will be able to listen to their final pitches and discover below the 15 startups about to embark on the exhilarating adventure – let the climb begin!
