Stripe Fintech for Good Meetup: What We Want to Build in 2026
For people broadening who finance works for — and building businesses that scale with purpose.
Join the Stripe Fintech for Good Community for an interactive Zoom session on what we want to create, learn, and strengthen together in 2026. This isn’t a webinar or sales pitch – it’s a collaborative gathering for founders, operators, and innovators who believe finance can be both inclusive and commercially strong.
In this session, we’ll explore:
What felt missing in 2025: in the industry, in our work, and in the conversations we want more of
What we want to build in 2026: new ideas, needed collaborations, and bold priorities for a more equitable financial system
How we can support each other: through small-group connection, shared problem-solving, and community-led insights
Where this community should focus next: topics, events, and opportunities that would make our work easier and more impactful
You’ll leave with new connections and a sense of collective momentum for the year ahead.

Speakers (you!)
This session is intentionally collaborative — no formal speakers this time. Instead, we’re bringing together founders, operators, and mission-driven fintech builders to shape the themes and priorities we’ll explore throughout 2026.
