“In the seven months since joining Project FinTech, we have been able to initiate key prospect relationships with banks in the Nashville community. As a direct result of our relationship with the NEC, we have new prospects for our technology solution, and are well on the way to achieving our corporate goals for year three of operation.”

What Alumni are Saying

“Before Nuestro Financial became part of the EC, we faced significant challenges accessing the right service providers, mentors, and partners to propel our growth and advance our mission. However, with the invaluable assistance of the EC & Project Fintech, doors have opened for us one after the next. It has been an incredible experience to be supported by a group as passionate about our goals as we are.¡Muchas gracias, EC!”
