Whether sponsored by private companies or public institutions, formed through partnerships or built from the ground up, business incubators have become an increasingly popular way nurture startups. For credit unions, incubators offer an avenue to serve local entrepreneurs and connect with tech-savvy, typically younger, new members. In many cases, the business ideas baked in these incubators can turn up the dial on the credit union’s own digital member experience.
During this webinar, Callahan & Associates' Aaron Passman will moderate an interactive conversation focused on how cooperatives can create a lasting impact through incubators. From Sound Credit Union's annual fintech innovation competition to True Sky FCU's homegrown incubator project to Lake Trust partnering with local entrepreneurs in their new incubator space, panelists will share their experiences, key lessons learned, and advice for others. Panelists include Sean Cahill, president and CEO of True Sky FCU, Nancy Sternitzky, SVP/chief information officer of Sound Credit Union, and Theresa Dubiel, EVP at Lake Trust CU.
