We’re at FinovateFall this week (Click here to find out more) in New York City, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most relevant fintech gatherings of the year. From early-stage demos to serious conversations about infrastructure, it’s exactly the kind of space where our team thrives.
At Pentedge, we work with fintech companies that are building for scale, clarity, and long-term growth. That’s why we make time for events like this. The tech being shown on stage is part of the same stack we help clients refine every day. The trends being debated in sessions are the same ones shaping our internal benchmarks. And the people here, product leads, technical founders, enterprise partners, and the like, are the ones pushing the industry forward.
Being at FinovateFall lets us stay close to that edge.
Why Events Like FinovateFall Matter to Us
We’re not here to collect swag or sit through sales pitches. We’re here because this event offers three things we care about: exposure to working product, direct access to builders, and a clear view of what’s being prioritized at the top of the market.
When a founder has seven minutes to demo a platform live, you get to see more than a pitch. You see how well the product performs under pressure. You see what they choose to highlight, and what they leave out. That’s useful signal. We use that insight to help clients assess their own product strategy, feature set, and go-to-market narrative.
We’re also watching how the market responds. The quiet conversations after a strong demo. The one or two follow-up questions that actually cut deep. This is where you find the real friction. And that’s the same friction our clients are working to solve.
What We’re Looking For This Week
We’re focused on three main areas at FinovateFall this year:
- Tools that reduce operational drag for high-growth fintech companies, especially in compliance, onboarding, and support
- Infrastructure products that help financial services scale without breaking reliability or introducing risk
- Real-world applications of embedded finance that go beyond slide decks and are already driving revenue
We’ve already spotted several companies doing interesting work across these areas, and we’re setting up conversations to learn more.
Our goal isn’t to chase trends. It’s to understand what’s working, why it’s working, and how those lessons can apply to our client stack. If it’s generating results, we want to know about it.
Who We’re Here to Connect With
We’re always looking to meet product owners and growth teams who are actively building. That’s why an event like FinovateFall is so important to us. If you’re facing friction around scaling your tech, improving conversions, or tightening your operational workflow, we’d love to hear about it.
Same goes for infrastructure and platform teams. If you’re building tools that support B2B fintech or serve enterprise financial services at scale, let’s talk.
And if you’re a founder using FinovateFall as a launch point, we’re paying attention. Not just to your demo, but to the clarity and momentum behind it. If you’re solving a hard problem in a smart way, we’ll probably find you.
The Right Kind of Visibility
FinovateFall brings the right kind of visibility. It’s not about hype or inflated claims. The best companies here are the ones that show up with working products, clear business logic, and teams who know their metrics.
We’re glad to be here and ready to connect.
Contact us if you’re attending and want to meet or if you’re looking for support with growth, product clarity, or scaling what you’ve already built.
