RiseUp
Empowering Women And Non-Binary Leaders
What's RiseUp?
RiseUp at Money20/20 is an annual global program that started in 2018 to champion more diversity across the fintech ecosystem. Through this program, we provide women and non-binary individuals with the network, tools and techniques needed to help them strategically advance their career and reach new heights. RiseUp is an explicitly inclusive program for all who identify as women. And since inception, we have had 600+ women from around the world as part of our cohort.
Applications are now closed, we look forward to reopening applications and seeing yours next year - keep an eye on the website for when we open again or contact us at DBT@money2020.com
