Questions people ask

Where can I meet finance professionals?

Look for focused finance, fintech and professional services events where the subject and audience match your work.

How do I find good networking events?

Start with your goal: hiring, clients, investors, or peers. Pick events built around that topic, check who the organiser is, and look at the format. Smaller breakfasts, roundtables and workshops usually lead to better conversations than large receptions. On Prosotto you can also see which members are going and message them before you arrive.
