Terms in plain English

Plug and Play runs its fintech program as part of its Silicon Valley industry batches, which run about three months. In its March 2026 batch announcement, Plug and Play listed Fintech among the batches and stated that startups can pursue pilots, proofs of concept, and potential investment, all without equity requirements. The company does not publish participation fees or investment amounts for the fintech batch, and cohort sizes for the fintech track specifically are not published. Any investment comes separately and is not a condition of participating in a batch.

Who this is actually for

This fits fintech startups seeking corporate innovation partnerships, pilots, and investor exposure through Plug and Play's network of financial institution partners. It suits teams that value connections and proof of concept opportunities over a fixed cash grant.
