Key highlights included:
The in-person Boston Fintech Week followed Fintech Sandbox's eighth annual Demo Day, which took place virtually on April 22, and gave eight promising startups the opportunity to showcase the technology and products built with the help of Fintech Sandbox and its partners. The event additionally featured a fireside chat with Adrienne Harris, Superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services, and included two in-person receptions.
