Fintech Is Femme: SF Happy Hour with The Academy of Fintech
The Academy of Fintech — Fintech Is Femme’s private membership community — is getting together for a casual happy hour in San Francisco.
If you’re part of the crew (or want to be), you’re invited.
It’s our first West Coast gathering this year — and the unofficial kickoff to shaping our Fintech Is Femme Leadership Summit, coming this October during SF Tech Week.
We’ll be gathering Academy members and future collaborators to:
Swap ideas on what the summit should look like
Talk about who should be on stage and in the room
Lay the groundwork for powerful partnerships and panels
Want in?
If you’re not a member yet, you can join The Academy of Fintech to get access.
As a founding member, you’ll get:
Entry to this happy hour
A full year of curated programming
Access to a private community of 150+ top-tier fintech leaders
A real seat at the table as we build what’s next
This is where momentum starts. Hope to see you there. 💜
Tucked above the chaos at Moongate Lounge (one of San Francisco’s most vibey cocktail spots), we’re creating a space where energy meets focus, and your next great connection might be standing two feet away.
This is for you if:
You want to meet other fintech folks who actually follow up after a handshake
You're energized by ambitious conversations (and even better cocktails)
You appreciate spaces where intros aren’t forced — they’re intentional
You're ready to get involved with major industry events like the Fintech Is Femme Leadership Summit in San Francisco
🗓 Thursday, June 19th, 2025 at 6 PM PST
📍 Moongate Lounge, San Francisco
