What are the top 3 tips for Fintech programme applicants?
- Gain an outside perspective: This is your company and occasionally it can become difficult to ‘see the wood for the trees’. Try to get feedback on various elements of your application with someone who has a limited understanding of your company, because that’s the position the judges will be in.
- Highlight your traction: What you’ve achieved to date is one of the best ways they can assess you on your ability to achieve your vision. Clearly show any metrics, partnerships, clients etc. that indicate you can become a category leader.
- Think about your language: These applications will be judged by experts in a variety of FinTech subsectors, but they won’t be experts in all of them. Therefore it’s important to make sure the language used in your application is not too technical, without oversimplifying your solution.
