Terms in plain English

The FinTech Innovation Lab New York is a 12 week program run by the Partnership Fund for New York City and Accenture. It does not provide a cash award or investment; the value is structured access to more than 40 participating financial institutions, including mentoring from bank and insurer executives. The Lab's earlier New York application page said there was no fee to apply and no equity or investment required, but its current pages no longer state terms, and the only zero-equity statement now on its site is a founder testimonial, so confirm terms when applications open in October 2026. Core team members must participate in New York City during working hours for the roughly 3 month program, with required in-person events.

Who this is actually for

Early and growth stage fintech or insurtech companies that already have a working beta product and at least some customer integration track record. It fits founders who want direct entry to large banks and insurers as customers and can commit their core team to New York for the program.
