Sixteen fintechs suited up for the fray. Just one could win.
Welcome to CU2.0’s Fintech Madness, Las Vegas style in the days leading up to the NCAA’s basketball tourney and you know which team won there. Say Jersey City, say it loud, Danny Hurley and his UConn team.
But back to Fintech Madness. The competitors were all stars, many have been on the CU2.0 Podcast. Competitors went through four grueling rounds –
Best elevator pitch
Biggest expected impact
Easiest to implement
Most likely partner
So who won? Meet Rhian Horgan, founder and CEO of Silvur, where the slogan tells the message: Retirement Simplified.
The big brainstorm here is two fold. Credit unions have lots of members nearing retirement and as they get there they have to make some very hard decisions regarding both finances and healthcare, Social Security and Medicare. What they need is a trusted and trustworthy advisor to help them through this maze.
Enter the credit union and Silvur, a smart tool that helps a member make the right choices. It’s the right product at the right time.
But – tip – any fintech needs to listen to this show multiple times. Horgan is an all-star on the pitching circuit and in her performance on this show you find out why.
Incidentally, Silvur’s first credit union customer was InTouch, helmed by Kent Lugrand, a past CU2.0 Podcast guest. His is a great personal story. You have to hear it.
Listen up – to Horgan and Lugrand.
