Holt’s proven methodology
Research
We have developed and honed a proven research model. First, we identify 10 verticals to fit into four categories (I AM, I SAVE, I BORROW, I’M PROTECTED). We study key sub-verticals and identify forces, trends, and stakeholders by leveraging the collective experience from our Advisory army, and segment our database of 10K companies into these sub-verticals to assess market competitiveness.
Scouting
We track 10K fintechs globally, and leverage hundreds of advisors in a due diligence process and sift through millions of data points to identify the companies we deem best-suited to partner with. The next step is to engage our top advisors and startups, ranking and targeting the most relevant companies to gain more insight during the application and interview process. We then invite financial institutions to review the top-rated applications thus giving us better alignment. Results are amalgamated and shared for alignment.
Visibility
Our partners gain attention and visibility in myriad ways, whether it be by inviting thought leaders to share their perspectives and ideas or hosting world-class events that invite speakers from different areas of the industry. These are just some of the ways we build and nourish a community. Our ultimate goal is to encourage FinTech businesses and entrepreneurs we partner with to get the recognition they merit.
