Our Story

From a Frankfurt experiment to a global fintech community

How It Started

What began as Fintech Devnight in June 2024— a curious experiment in Frankfurt gathering fintech builders, quants, and data-driven professionals for practical, hands-on conversations — grew into something far bigger than we imagined.

The Evolution

The community expanded across Frankfurt, London, and New York, with hundreds of practitioners joining our events, demos, and discussions. Our philosophy resonated everywhere: 0% fluff, 100% applied insight.

As the community grew beyond single-city events into a broader ecosystem, we needed a name that reflected this evolution and opened the scope beyond the Fintech Devnight format. Finteda — born from the fusion of Finance, Technology, and Data — represents our transformation from an event series into a global platform and community for applied fintech knowledge.

🌍 Our Mission

We're building the world's largest applied FinTech community and platform — a place where practitioners learn from each other, share real insights, explore emerging tools, and shape the future of financial innovation together.

Whether you're in quant, crypto, wealth, asset management, insurance, payments, data engineering, AI research, trading tech, or fintech product building — Finteda is built for you.
