As part of the 9th annual Boston Fintech Week, Fintech Sandbox is excited to host International Acceleration Day (IAD) on Thursday, September 24, at the Federal Reserve Plaza in Boston.
IAD is a curated networking event built for international fintech founders looking to enter and scale in the U.S. market. Programming opens with sessions tailored to global teams exploring the U.S. for the first time, then flows into a broader startup track relevant to international and domestic founders alike.
Throughout the day, we'll dig into what actually shapes a company's first two years in Boston and the U.S. more broadly — customers, capital, compliance, and growth.
Whether you're mapping your U.S. market entry or already building here, expect practical insight and meaningful connections with founders, investors, and partners navigating the same path.
This day is made possible in partnership with leading financial institutions and international consulates, including the Scottish and Canadian consulates, supporting founders as they navigate their U.S. expansion.
Friendly reminder to bring your ID to go through security.
