Stripe Fintech for Good Community meetup: How to build successful bank relationships
Join the Stripe Fintech for Good Community for a live panel on how fintech founders actually build bank relationships — from getting the first meeting to making it mean something.
Our panel brings together founders, operators, and ecosystem insiders who've watched these relationships play out from the inside. Together, we'll get specific about what actually works: who to reach, how to position your company in early conversations, and what banks are quietly evaluating before you ever get a second meeting.
Panelists
Pam Kaur, Head of Platform @ Alloy Labs
Kristen Castell, Managing Director @ Fintech CAFE
John Taylor Garner, Founder & CEO @ Odynn
Shreenath Regunathan, Founder @ Starlight
Moderated by Arden Evenson, Stripe Fintech for Good Community Builder & Founder of Firefly Advising
