Interview 1
Based on your application review, we will contact you via email to arrange a first-round interview. This initial interview provides an opportunity for us to get to know you, your product, and your team. The first-round interview is typically a 25-minute video call with members of the Fintech Sandbox.
Interview 2
After your first interview, we will notify you regarding moving forward to the second-round interview. This interview is designed to go more in-depth on your product, market, and roadmap. We ask that you present a live demo or walk us through a detailed use case of your product. The second-round interview is typically a 45-minute video call with the Fintech Sandbox team as well as a few of our Advocates.
