Invest in Our Economy
The Founders Arena, born from a partnership between the City of Arlington, Arlington Economic Development Corporation and First Rate, Inc., is an innovative WealthTech Accelerator designed to meet the needs of startup tech entrepreneurs.
The 10-week intensive gives participants access to networking, funding, training and mentorship. The inaugural WealthTech Combine took place on Oct. 10-11. Members of the first Founders Arena cohort spent two days networking with industry experts, honing their business pitches and attending sessions on topics from artificial intelligence to the current state of wealth management and everything in-between.
You can read more about the Founders Arena in the latest Invest in Our Economy newsletter. This quarter’s publication also features the Strong Hand Tools expansion to Arlington, current employment statistics from Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County, and more.
