During the month prior to Fintech South 2025, the founders of our 2024 cohort companies engaged in a full month of curated education programs and mentoring that have become a hallmark of this world-class startup engagement program presented by the Technology Association of Georgia, the producers of Fintech South.

Our cohort of companies will participate in a special showcase event where the founders make their pitch and receive candid feedback from an all-star group of fintech VCs, founders, and experts. At Fintech South 2024, our top 5 finalists will compete on the Mainstage for a $25,000 cash prize!
