Do women-led fintech firms perform better?

Fintech Diversity Radar will let data do the talking

Diverse teams build more valuable companies – that we know. But is fintech missing out on the opportunity?

The Fintech Diversity Radar is building the world’s first dataset on diversity in fintech globally:

• to benchmark fintech innovators and institutions
• to identify progress in building a diverse financial services industry
• to help firms improve gender balance across their businesses

Raise and praise (not name and shame!)

How can you help? Play your part in bridging the gender divide by taking part in our survey here (names and company details will not be released in the research) to get access to the report and digital scorecard launching in August 2021.

For fintechs

• We invite you to participate in this fully anonymised survey aimed at all privately owned fintech firms and benefit from the findings outlined in a complimentary report launched in August.

Do you work in a bank or large tech firm?

• The research also targets financial institutions and large incumbent financial service providers, through both quantitative and qualitative data gathering, which we will share shortly.

If you are a Chief People Officer who is making, and indeed, seeing the marked difference that diversity makes in your organisation, get in touch with us at info@findexable.com
