Project FinTech Ecosystem Meetup

Meet the Fall 2025 Project FinTech Cohort As They Launch

The most promising fintech founders just got selected for Project FinTech. For 12 weeks, they'll be mastering pitches, navigating compliance, perfecting go-to-market strategies, and preparing for fundraising.

This is your chance to meet them first.

Who you'll connect with:

• Fall 2025 Project FinTech cohort
• Lisa Roach, VP, Commercial and Corporate Banker
• Dave Malone, Entrepreneur and Investor
• Local fintech ecosystem builders

What makes this different: These founders were selected for their innovative ideas and strong fit for the program. They're focused, starting an accelerator funded through LaunchTN, and about to build a stronger business.

Lisa brings decades of commercial banking insight. Dave's been through the founder journey and now advises as Expert-In-Residence. These aren't speakers - they're operators who understand both sides of the table.

Drinks, real conversations, and first access to Nashville's next wave of fintech companies.
