Fintech Accelerator program is a new and unique innovation and entrepreneurship program launched by Fintech Saudi and powered by Flat6Labs. This carefully crafted program is set to help fintechs grow and designed to transfer best practices, tools, and resources available for fintech companies to develop and scale their solution-driven businesses.

The Fintech Accelerator program is designed to support aspiring Fintech entrepreneurs through an intensive part-time curriculum focused on growth and scaling stages

Fintech startups, just like any early stage business face a number of challenges. Funding, mentorship and access to networks form part of the support they stand gain from fintech accelerators and incubators. However, these two programs aren’t the same. Each is better suited for a specific phase in the journey of a fintech startup. In this video, I explain what the differences between the two programs, the pros and cons as well as help you gauge which is suitable for your startup.
