About Fintech Fringe
We connect fintechs with the investors, customers and experts who can take them further.
From our founder
“We’re bold, we’re ambitious and we’re building a globally connected fintech ecosystem, starting right here in the UK. Collaboration is in our DNA, so if you’d like to work together, get in touch.”
Calypso HarlandFounder, Fintech Fringe
Who we are
Practical, pragmatic, never vendor-led. If it won’t help a fintech grow, it’s not on our agenda.
We work alongside companies from across the industry, including those in competing spaces, because the ecosystem grows faster when it grows together.
Known as an “accelerator on steroids”: no-nonsense content with energy and flair, built around what fintechs can practically apply.
London is the fintech capital of the world. We connect founders, operators, investors and decision makers across the UK and beyond.
What we do
Membership and matchmaking that introduce fintechs to the investors, buyers and partners they need.

Scale & Grow→Our story
We launched with a simple idea: fintechs grow faster when they’re in the right rooms. Here’s how that idea grew.
2023Where it began
Fintech Fringe began with a festival and a mission: build the UK’s go-to ecosystem for scaling fintechs.
2024–25Forum
Fintech Fringe Forum launched in beta in 2024, then opened to the public in 2025, so fintechs can connect with peers, experts and investors all year round.
2024–26Trusted to curate
We were soon invited to programme and host stages at Fintech Connect, Pay360 and Money20/20.
2025One community
Fintech Fringe and Fintech Week London joined forces, bringing two communities together under one brand.
2026The next chapter
Fintech Week London relaunched under Fintech Fringe as a city-wide festival, anchored by the Summit. Our consulting arm, Scale & Grow, launched to put specialist experts to work on fintechs’ toughest growth challenges.
2027What’s next
Fintech Week London grows to 20–24 September, with DealFlow LIVE every quarter, while our events, Forum and Scale & Grow keep the right introductions happening all year round.
