  I am hosting a free 20m webinar for fintech / financial practitioners - COOs, CFOs, VP Finance, and the data / BI team that supports them. I will be demoing a paradigm shift in business intelligence that Gartner rated 'transformational' - twice! It is something I haven’t seen in 30 years as an entrepreneur, investor and coach: one data platform that lets you see the whole company in real time; from sales and marketing to operations, product and finance, integrating dozens of existing data sources and natural language search, and does not require a DBA (or BI software) and runs for less than the cost of just one DBA.
  
  I’d value everyone's time so I am keeping it to 20 minutes. No sales pitch. The technology speaks for itself.
  
  Please connect with me here or on LinkedIn for an invitation: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kennethhsmith/

  I made a short video showing how an organization page gives other members a clear picture of what you do and what you are looking for, all in one place. Our team reviews each page before it shows up.
  
  Members can then search FinTech Connector for companies to partner with, hire from and learn from. Is yours easy to find?
  
  Creating an organization page needs a Pro membership or higher. To try Pro, use one of these codes at checkout:
  - Pro monthly: $5 for your first 30 days, then $30 per month. Code PROMTHFOR5.
  - Pro yearly: $99 for as long as you remain a member. Code PROYEARFOR99.
  
  To start, open Organizations in the top menu and choose Create Organization, or go straight here: https://members.fintechconnector.com/companies
  
  If you would like help setting up your page, message me directly.

  Looking for Innovators and Enablers across financial services
  
  We’re looking for Innovators and Enablers across all types of fintech and financial-services innovation — not one niche — to connect with banking partners who are modernizing legacy systems and exploring new business opportunities.
  
  FinTech Connector is structured matchmaking: Innovators (founders and builders) signal what theyre building and what they need help with now. Enablers (operators, advisors, capital, distribution — including banks) surface how they help. We facilitate intros with context.
  
  If you know colleagues who should be in this community, use Invite Members to share this via email or social and invite them to join complimentary:
  https://members.fintechconnector.com/user/sign_up?link_tag=1B4A3
  
  Watch the short overview attached — then invite someone who’d benefit from the network.

  FALL 2026 — STRATEGIC ADOPTION OFFERING: TradFi → DeFi
  After spending the last few months immersed in the blockchain and finance ecosystems, one thing is clear: convergence will come through adoption, not substitution.
  We are rolling out an offering designed for select financial institutions. Our primary partners are banks and asset managers already committed to a digital assets strategy, with the ability to make rapid decisions and a corporate culture aligned with the TradFi + DeFi hybrid model.
  We offer a turnkey operational solution that integrates asset tokenization, regulatory compliance, and custody solutions.
  Our support covers the entire lifecycle of a blockchain project: validation of the business model and its economic metrics, secure and scalable technology deployment, institutional storytelling for communications, and activation of distribution channels.
  We would be delighted to discuss this with you if this roadmap aligns with your strategy.

  Hi everyone 👋
  Excited to be part of the Fintech Connector community.
  I'm the Global Accounts Lead at Inncivio.
  One of our customers recently told us:
  "inncivio explains our financial products better than we do."
  That's the challenge we're solving: helping fintech users gain the clarity and confidence to take action.
  With our first customers, we've already seen 20%+ transaction volume uplift within weeks.
  Looking forward to connecting with fellow fintech operators and innovators.

  🫥 Budgeting is still one of the most misunderstood systems in business. In many organizations, it is still treated as a spreadsheet exercise, a yearly reporting routine, or a set of assumptions that quickly lose value.
  
  But modern budgeting is shifting from static spreadsheets and yearly assumptions toward more continuous control, real-time visibility, and ongoing correction.
  
  💎 That is one of the core ideas behind what we are building at AICB.
  
  We are turning budgeting into a practical management system that helps organizations stay aligned with reality, respond to change earlier, and make clearer decisions about priorities, spending, and financial direction.
  
  This is especially important for SMEs and growing businesses, where weak budgeting discipline can quietly create friction, delay, and avoidable financial pressure.
  
  👉 On 5 May in Gothenburg, we will share more of this thinking and present our concept demo in an exclusive lunch gathering. There is also the possibility of joining us online. Just notify us before.
  
  Interested in joining us? contact: info@aicb.se
