Seven impressive fintechs set to showcase their innovations in front of the largest independent gathering of financial advisors and professionals in the world

Future Proof Festival, the largest wealth festival in the world and the most anticipated event in finance, today announced an elite group of finalists for the second annual Future Proof Fintech Demo Drop. The Fintech Demo Drop is scheduled to be held live during the Future Proof Festival in Huntington Beach, CA, from September 10-13, 2023. As a part of this hotly awaited event, innovators will have the unique opportunity to present and showcase their groundbreaking financial technology platforms and tools to thousands of financial advisors and industry peers.

Future Proof’s Fintech Demo Drop presenters were hand-picked by an independent committee of industry experts, with each applicant assessed on creativity, outside-the-box thinking and the ability to create a real impact for the industry as a whole. The chosen finalists encompass a broad spectrum of contenders, ranging from promising start-ups to disruptive offerings offered by established firms, as well as significant enhancements to widely adopted technologies.

“We couldn't be more excited to highlight these seven innovative fintech companies at this year's Future Proof Festival,” said Matt Middleton, CEO of Advisor Circle. “The Fintech Demo Drop was created to spotlight the latest tools and solutions that help wealth management executives and financial advisors operate their businesses more effectively and serve their clients better. We congratulate each finalist on their unique and compelling solutions, all of which hold transformative potential for the industry.”
