ABSTRACT
FinTech funding is typically done through the following sources: a venture capitalist, corporate and private investors, mergers and acquisitions and public initial public offerings. Incubators can take the entrepreneurs from being just a technology and functionally focused individuals to becoming a business person or an entrepreneur in the true sense. Incubators are usually specific to a technology or a business area. A large number of incubators are early-stage incubators who have a curriculum-led program to provide early stage and aspiring entrepreneurs with the structure, training, mentor support and global networks needed to start an enterprise/start-up. Start-ups can use these incubators to test their start-up idea, build a team, get their first customer, raising funds and a multiple of other things. The accelerator programs are focused programs helping start-ups with mentors, partners and investors to scale them up. Some of these accelerator programs are running globally that are focused on FinTechs.
