Growers Edge Financial CEO to Present at Rosenblatt's 11th Annual FinTech Summit

JOHNSTON, Iowa - May 23, 2019 - PRLog -- Growers Edge Financial, Inc. (https://growersedge.com/) (Growers Edge), which provides data-driven fintech solutions for the agriculture industry, today announced that CEO Billy Rose will present at Rosenblatt's 11^th Annual FinTech Summit (https://www.rblt.com/fts2019) on May 23, 2019 at the Convene Conference Center in New York, NY.  His panel, "Financial Inclusion: No Customer Left Behind," will take place at 10:10 am ET.

"With 2 billion unbanked and 1.4 billion having limited access to investing/insurance, we can't claim that finance is working for everyone, including SMEs. Fortunately, smart FinTechs are hard at work to fix this issue," noted Dushyant Shahrawat, director, investment banking, Rosenblatt Securities.

Rose will join a group of seasoned financial leaders including: Charlie Kroll, president, Ellevest; Amitay Kalmar, CEO, Lendbuzz; Jerry Nemorin, CEO, LendStreet; and Alex Kong, CEO, TNG FinTech. Moderated by Rosenblatt's Shahrawat, the panel will explore key questions such as:

-       Is Financial Inclusion merely a "feel good" issue, or "a commercially viable" strategy?

-       What are the structural challenges?

-       How is emerging technology enabling inclusion/wellness?

-       What innovative partnerships and strategies can FinTechs employ?

A proven entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the insurance and ag lending industry, Rose will share his perspective on how financial inclusion applies to the intersection of financial services and agriculture, as well as how innovative players like Growers Edge are putting advances in predictive analytics and machine learning into practice. His vision and big picture understanding of agriculture, technology, lending and crop insurance have resulted in successful ventures benefitting America's farmers and the agricultural industry at large.

Growers Edge offers fintech solutions to speed the adoption of new technologies in the farming community by mitigating the associated risks. Rose aims to change how growers manage risk and gain access to capital by creating economic incentives for growers, technology providers and lenders.
