TACOMA, Wash.–Sound Credit Union and the University of Washington-Tacoma’s Milgard Center for Business Analytics announced the second annual UW FinTech Pitch Competition with a goal of creating “better member experiences.”
The competition offers all UW students a chance to develop a pitch for a new fintech product, present their idea to potential investors, and receive feedback on the idea. The winner of the competition will receive $1,000 and a chance to present their idea to the statewide Sound Credit Union FinTech Incubator Challenge.
“Innovation in the fintech space and educating the next generation of financial leaders are two crucial goals for Sound Credit Union,” said Sound Credit Union President/CEO Don Clark Jr. “This collaboration with UWT is one way we can support the growth of UW students while identifying the next generation of financial technology entrepreneurs. We cannot wait to see the ideas that these students come up with.”
‘Create Better Member Experiences’
Together Sound Credit Union and these budding fintech entrepreneurs will work to develop the kinds of tools that could improve financial health and create better member experiences, the credit union said.
“Consistently UW students are bringing their ideas, energy and passion to their class work,” said Michael Helser, assistant director of the Milgard Center for Business Analytics at UW Tacoma. “The Sound Credit Union UW FinTech Pitch Competition is another chance for these students to come with their best ideas and innovations. Ultimately, our students are going to shape the future of financial technology. Our mission is to give them the feedback and tools to make their ideas into a business reality.”
University of Washington students can submit their financial technology concepts to the UW FinTech Pitch Competition between March 28 and April 18.
