(disruptionbanking.com) Each company will face a tight three‑minute pitch followed by a two‑minute Q&A with judges, a format Innovate Finance uses to compress presentations into rapid investor assessments. (innovatefinance.com) The live Pitch360 session is scheduled on Level39’s programme from 15:30 to 19:30, giving attendees a curated breakout block during UK FinTech Week. (level39.co) The judging panel brings representatives from venture and tech firms including Stripe, Google, Volution, the City of London Corporation and SBI, who will decide two winners — one startup and one scaleup. (disruptionbanking.com) Prizes for the two champions include one year’s complimentary Innovate Finance membership, an IFGS 2027 speaking slot and complimentary tickets, investor matchmaking and legal support as part of the winner package. (innovatefinance.com) Past Pitch360 winners named by Innovate Finance include Sprout Financial and Zero, with regional champions such as Nuke from Orbit, Stratiphy and Saible highlighted in the competition’s rollout across the UK.
