Little Rock, Arkansas – CEO and Founder of Fintel Connect, Nicky Senyard, recently participated in an entrepreneurship panel at the Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock, Arkansas. The Clinton School of Public Service invited four founders from the Independent Community Bankers of America’s  ICBA ThinkTECH Accelerator 2.0, powered by The Venture Center, to discuss their entrepreneurial journeys with attendees from around the state. The accelerator program participants were invited to share their experiences and provide attendees the opportunity to learn firsthand from entrepreneurs. The panel shared their experiences and journeys towards making a meaningful difference in the world. The panel session was recorded and is available through the Clinton School of Public Service Archives alongside a host of other influential speakers. Fintel Connect was selected from hundreds of fintech companies to participate in this year’s ICBA ThinkTECH Accelerator, connecting Fintel Connect to the ICBA’s network of community banks across the U.S. The ICBA ThinkTECH Accelerator program has made an impactful contribution to the global entrepreneurial ecosystem and economy, and events like the Clinton School of Public Service Speaker Series play an important role in providing information and education for prospective entrepreneurs. Nicky Senyard shared, “It was an honor to be selected to participate in this panel presentation. Entrepreneurship to me is about making a difference, problem-solving, and leadership. If we can help inspire budding entrepreneurs to follow their passion, we’ve made a difference.”

“We go through a rigorous vetting process to select the best companies with founders who are also strong leaders. We’re thrilled to count Nicky Senyard as one of those powerful leaders and know that through the Clinton School Series, her unique and inspiring story will impact countless entrepreneurs.”
