How to Scale a FinTech Forum

October 7th, 3:30pm

---

We’re delighted to announce our How to Scale a FinTech forum, hosted in partnership with DTM Legal, with venue support from Barclays Eagle Labs.

Growth isn’t a straight line — and the fintechs scaling fastest in the region will tell you it rarely looks like the plan on paper.

This session brings together founders and operators who’ve navigated the realities of scaling: funding rounds that didn’t go as expected, the financial workarounds that kept things moving, and the moment they realised they didn’t have the right IP protection, insurance, or terms and conditions in place — and what they did about it. We’ll also hear from the ecosystem supporters who help firms navigate this tricky journey across legal, regulatory, and funding challenges.

Key themes we’ll explore:

– Support within the ecosystem – who’s out there to help, and how to make the most of them, from advisors and investors to peer networks

– Scaling journeys, learnings and successes – honest, first-hand accounts of what worked, what didn’t, and what founders would do differently

– Funding – the reality behind the raise, from what investors are really looking for to keeping the lights on when timelines slip

– Regulation and getting the legal side right – the protections too many fintechs put off until it’s too late, and how to get ahead of them

– Regional ecosystem showcase – a look at where the region’s fintech startups are now, and what’s next for them

Expect an interactive format designed for genuine conversation – bring your questions and your own scaling challenges, and leave with insight you can put into practice.

We’re excited to share more information about our agenda and speakers soon.
