The Fintech Innovation Challenge that was held at The Point 2016, hosted by Payments NZ, announced Dexibit that provides analytics for museums, as the award winner.
The challenge saw five finalists, each having six minutes to pitch to delegates and additional four minutes to field tough questions from an experts panel consisting of Mark Rushworth, CEO Paymark; Cecilia Tarrant, Chair ArcAngels and Stefan Korn, CEO Creative HQ, before the public voting, the company release said.
The company’s CEO Angie Judge explained the problem behind old fashioned clicker counters, still common in the cultural sector, limiting the information available to museum decision makers. Dexibit’s use of transactional and financial data has become one of the focus in addition to the innovative use of other data feeds.
“We were very impressed with the quality of entrants in our inaugural Fintech Innovation Challenge and the energy of the finalists ‘Dragon’s Den’ style pitches was outstanding. The delegation chose Dexibit as the winner and was no doubt impressed with Angie’s pitch, focusing the global potential of Dexibit’s business intelligence offering,” Steve Wiggins, Chief Executive of Payments NZ said.
The competition judge commented on the idea of Dexibit and the company's award package sponsored by Paymark included a $5,000 cash prize and mentoring opportunities.
