Industry group Atlantic Fintech and incubator Fintech Cadence have inked a deal to make the Montreal innovation hub’s online training and support services available to East Coast startups.

The Fintech Hub, as Fintech Cadence dubs its service, is a rolling intake online incubator that offers pre-Series A companies access to workshops, peer networking, one-on-one coaching and in-kind services. Admission is free and Fintech Cadence does not take an equity stake in participating companies.

“Over the past three years we have been tracking the growth of fintech in the region and working with entrepreneurs from idea stage through to scaling,” said Atlantic Fintech’s Alicia Roisman Ismach in a statement.

“The regulatory requirements and specialized business models of fintech provide unique challenges and opportunities for startups in this sector that, through this partnership with Fintech Cadence, we are now able to support at a broader scale.” 

Founded in 2017 by Jan Arp, now managing partner at the Holt Xchange fintech investment fund, Fintech Cadence is a non-profit with a mandate to educate fintech talent, support startups and foster collaboration in the national fintech sector.

Entrepreneurs interested in The Fintech Hub are invited to email Atlantic Fintech’s Jonathan Dunnett at jonathan.dunnett@atlanticfintech.ca. Atlantic Fintech and Fintech Cadence will also host an online information session Feb. 9 at 1:00 p.m. Atlantic time, which you can register for here.
