We aim to promote Fintech by embracing innovation, providing education, and facilitating thought leadership within the Wharton community and beyond.
About
Wharton FinTech is one of the largest student-led FinTech communities, centered on education, career development, community-building, and thought leadership. We facilitate copious programming and events around these aims, including: lunch and learns with industry experts, intensive ‘Career Treks’, an annual Conference, our award-winning podcast, recruiting prep sessions, themed discussions over dinner, academic independent study projects, and countless other networking experiences.
We are committed to furthering the The Wharton School’s recognition as a FinTech industry leader for ideas, growth and opportunity.
Education
We host a variety of speaker series, hands-on projects, panel discussions, and networking events featuring Wharton alumni and other industry experts to unlock the latest concepts, trends, and career paths in FinTech. Additionally, each semester, we companies partner with us to sponsor an independent study project, whereby a group of MBA students will be paired with you to complete a consulting-based project.
Please contact us if you’d like to visit / zoom into campus to share ideas, network with our students, or learn more about independent study projects.
