WSGR FINTECH CONFERENCE:

Current Issues Facing Fintech Companies and Investors



Fintech companies – such as crowdfunding platforms, web-based lending platforms, roboadvisers, robobrokers, blockchain-based companies, payment systems, and cryptocurrency companies – are innovators that deliver financial services in new ways. Fintech companies often face issues of first impression when seeking capital, applying existing laws to their businesses, and expanding their operations outside of their home countries.

Please join us for a program to discuss the current state of the capital raising and regulatory landscapes for fintech companies and investors in fintech companies. We will hear firsthand from our experts on raising capital, regulatory issues, cross-border issues, protecting IP, and privacy and data security in this exponentially growing field.

We look forward to seeing you there.
