The Integration of Fintech, AI and SaaS In our Founder Institute Hong Kong – ASEAN eco system we are running four verticals this year in Artificial Intelligence, Fintech, Healthtech & Web3. In these verticals we supplement the Core Program with relevant, industry specific knowledge, unlike the industry agnostic Local Chapters that focus on the business development only. I run the ASEAN Fintech and was updating my specific sessions there, just recently. What I discovered is that the linkages are very strong between Fintech and AI and SaaS. I guess AI and SaaS are what we call ‘enabling technologies’ and as financial markets are about intangibles and data, these enabling technologies are very important. To highlight this ‘connect’, on Tuesday 16 April at 19.00 Hong Kong time we are holding a virtual event with three panelists that will look at this connect from a different angle: ·      Ben Stein, Co-Founder & CEO of Staple.io will talk about how his SaaS offering is becoming core to many large financial institutions to standardize their data, which is essential for effective integration and reporting ·      Ryan Manuel, Founder & CEO of Bilby.ai will talk about how his AI offering has become key in both research and compliance in large financial institutions ·      Gaetan Gosset, formerly part of the senior management at Euroclear and now a private entrepreneur and investor, will talk about the applications of AI and financial markets operations I have been in the financial markets, either as an industry participant or academic, for forty years. I have found the change that technology has made to our financial markets in the last decade profound. I have learned a lot speaking with these three industry leaders and welcome you to join our session next Tuesday. Registration is free for this virtual event. 😉 #fintech #ai #saas #founderinstitute Ivan Germanov Laurent Koehler DrWarren LINGER Dr Francois Fong Ryan Manuel Ben Stein Gaetan Gosset Vitaly Gnatenko Leon Eisen, PhD 💡Jonathan Nguyen Register: https://fi.co/e/341552

Unsurprisingly, AI stole the spotlight! A groundbreaking study by McKinsey & Company, in collaboration with SaaSBoomi, revealed some eye-opening insights into AI's transformative impact on the SaaS landscape.

Hello LinkedIn Family, I am conducting a market survey for startup founders to design a one-of-a-kind platform which will act as a AI based Private Equity and Investment Matching Firm. The firm would use advanced AI algorithms to match startups and businesses with potential private equity (PE) firms and angel investors. The AI would analyze various parameters such as business models, financials, industry trends, and growth potential to find the best match between startups and investors. With regards to the same, it would be really kind of you to take just 5 minutes of your time to fill in this form attached herein: https://lnkd.in/gtJD4Gny Also, please feel free to address any concerns/queries with me regarding the form or the idea. Thank you so much in advance :) Best Regards, Amlan Ghosh #startup #founders #investment #investmentmatching #privateequity #startupfounders
