Earlier this year we announced a partnership with Haste & Hustle for Generation Now, an event for entrepreneurs happening February 2018 in Toronto. The Future of Payments contest asked entrepreneurs to submit a video on social media in answer to this question:
“Where do you see payments going in the future (excluding bitcoin and blockchain)?”
Contestants had a chance to win VIP tickets to Generation Now and a meet and greet with Gary Vee (among other prizes).
Each entry was judged on the innovation and creativity, whether the idea addressed a real barrier to payments, was realistic, viable, and well-reasoned or well-researched. The contest is over, submissions have been judged and we’re excited to announce the five winners (and their entries)!
