Fintech Sandbox, a nonprofit that provides early-stage fintech startups around the world with free access to critical datasets and infrastructure through its Data Access Residency, recently announced the lineup of global startups for its virtual Demo Day 10. The event was held over two days, on April 9 and April 11, 2024, and Alt/Finance was among the 12 startups showcasing technologies and products built through the Data Access Residency.

"This year's Demo Day events will shine a light on new technologies built for the future economy, and we're excited to continue to dive into AI, Quantum Computing, as well as other emerging technologies, and their essential applications across industries," said Kelly Fryer, Executive Director, Fintech Sandbox.
