RiseUp

Empowering Women And Non-Binary Leaders

What's RiseUp?

RiseUp at Money20/20 is an annual global program that started in 2018 to champion more diversity across the fintech ecosystem. Through this program, we provide women and non-binary individuals with the network, tools and techniques needed to help them strategically advance their career and reach new heights. RiseUp is an explicitly inclusive program for all who identify as women. And since inception, we have had 175+ women from around the world as part of our cohort.
