Scivantage and Stevens Institute Launch FinTech Incubator Program

In just a few short years New York City has become a hub for financial technology startups. The corresponding rise in "FinTech" focused events have been well attended, often drawing in top players in the capital markets and banking world seeking to stay ahead of the technology curve and rev up their innovation cycles.
