Uptiq today announced the launch of the AI FinServ Launchpad, a new build program designed to help fintech founders turn financial workflow expertise into AI-native products without needing to hire engineering teams, build infrastructure, or secure major early-stage funding. The Genesis Track will debut at FinTech NerdCon in Miami.
The Genesis Track is built for founders who understand financial operations firsthand including lending, onboarding, KYC, reconciliation, payments, wealth operations, and treasury — but don’t want to be slowed down by technical execution. Using Uptiq’s QORE platform, founders can bring production-grade fintech products to market in just 90 days.
“The most successful fintech’s of the next decade will be led by operators who deeply understand the pain points, not necessarily engineers,” said Snehal Fulzele, CEO of Uptiq. “Genesis lets founders launch with a real product and customers, not just a pitch deck.”
Unlike incubators and accelerators, the Genesis Track provides hands-on product development, not mentorship credits or investor meetings. Founders receive:
- Pilot opportunities through our network of over 150 Fis
- Up to $100K in in-kind product development
- A dedicated AI engineering and product pod from Uptiq
- Infrastructure, security, and compliance scaffolding
The program follows a structured 90-day build-and-launch framework:
- Ignite — define product blueprint and business case
- Construct — build MVP using Uptiq’s engineering team and QORE platform
- Activate — pilot inside financial institutions
- Scale — growth and GTM foundation
“Genesis flips the traditional founding model,” said Gaurav Mehra, COO of Uptiq. “You don’t need to assemble engineering, infra, and compliance before validating your product. Instead, you launch immediately and scale from there.”
