Finnovating, the first global ‘matching as a service’ platform that connects 60,000 fintech companies and investors, has hired Matteo Rizzi as senior advisor to boost its European expansion. His push seeks to accelerate it after having achieved that 7 out of 10 fintech companies in Latin America are part of the hub.

With two decades of experience in financial services and 13 years at SWIFT, Matteo «became one of the fathers of fintech by founding Innotribe, possibly the first fintech space in the world,» Finnovating explains. This well-known entrepreneur began investing directly in 2013 in startups and through global VCs and CVCs in firms such as Bamboo Capital Partners.

He currently has investment involvement in more than 20 startups and has made 5 divestments. In 2015, he co-founded FinTechStage (now FTS Group.eu) and in 2019, he launched Breaking Banks Europe (as executive producer), as well as the author of «The FinTech Revolution and Talents & Rebels».

«It is a luxury to be able to count on Matteo since for me he is one of the fathers of the fintech sector and one of the pioneers in collaboration between the world of technology startups and the corporate sector. Having his support and experience is key to continue creating the global matching platform that we at Finnovating have created», confides the CEO of Finnovating, Rodrigo García de la Cruz.
