What: Fintech Is Femme Leadership Summit
When: April 23, 2025 (during New York Fintech Week)
Where: The Times Center, New York Times Building, NYC
Who’s in the Room: 500+ founders, CEOs, investors, and operators in fintech, financial services, and tech.
Why it matters:
When I built this summit last year, I asked one question:
What could one day in the right room do for your next 10 years?
Turns out? A lot.
🎯 One woman came hoping for a solid connection—she left with a future investor and added $1M to her pre-seed raise.
💼 Another attendee bought a $500 ticket, and a few weeks later? Closed a $50K client.
That’s ROI with receipts.
Because when women in fintech get visibility, support, and the right stage—it multiplies.
This isn’t fluff. This is business done differently.
You’ll learn from speakers like:
• Asya Bradley, Startup & Venture Capital Partnerships Lead, Stripe
• Meghan Kober, VP of Fintech Partnerships & Investments, U.S. Bank
• Tanya Van Court, Founder & CEO, Goalsetter
• Ashley M. Fox, Founder & CEO, Empify
• And more game-changers dropping real strategy.
Want the most value?
💡 Most attendees go for the Community Bundle—you’ll get a ticket plus a full year inside The Academy of Fintech, our private, curated community.
You’ll start making connections before the event—and keep them long after.
🚀 Big moves happen here. Don’t miss your moment.
Hope to see you there—stepping into your future self.
💜 Nicole
