The Brazilian startup ecosystem has a new innovation and acceleration hub: the House of Fintech (HOF), which brings together a pool of investors for the fintech segment. “We are looking for startups that already have a defined business model, with solutions for the B2B or B2C segments, that have revenue and recurring customers, and are ready to leverage the traction process”, explains Claudio Kawasaki, responsible for the relationship with company investors.
“We believe that there will be a disruption in the financial system in the next 10 years, as happened after the creation of Netflix, which ended with Blockbuster. New business models are emerging, stimulated by the change in the way consumers manage and use their money”, completes Kawasaki. The executive cites as an example the Chinese messaging app We Chat, from Tecent Holdings, which has stood out as a mobile payment platform in China and has more than 650 million users.
HOF has five partners, in addition to a group of investors and mentors from different economic sectors. Interested startups can apply directly on the website http://www.hof.ventures/ and enterprises that work with insurance, means of payment, financial efficiency, loans, cryptocurrencies, among other segments will be evaluated.
