The National Crowdfunding & Fintech Association of Canada (NCFA) and partners are excited to present Vol. 1 Issue 3, FINTECH CONFIDENTIAL, a digital pop-up of the 6th annual 2020 Fintech & Financing Conference and Expo (FFCON20) held virtually across themed 8 weeks from July 9 to August 27 and co-hosted by NCFA and Toronto Finance International. The main theme of FFCON20 was “RISE”, reflecting the joint efforts of the two associations, NCFA and TFI, to build and increase the success and sustainability of Canada’s fintech and financial sector. There were many moving parts this year and a brand-new digital format with the event bringing together 100+ thought leaders, 50+ partners, and more than 500 attendees, 2 challenges and the inaugural Fintech Draft pitching and demo competitions. Congratulations to the winners: SolidBlock and MazumaGo (formerly DivDot)! Thanks to all the partners, speakers, attendees, volunteers and the entire organizing team for making FFCON20 an impactful and amazing online experience for Canada’s fintech and funding community. We hope you enjoy this issue of Fintech Confidential magazine – it certainly makes for great holiday reading! While everyone relentlessly strives to achieve success in 2021, we encourage you to bring in the new year with good health and to be mindful that we are all in this together, and to help others in your community more than ever before. Peace, happiness, and best wishes for an incredible year and journey ahead.

Target <strong>Issue</strong>:<br />
The real estate market has not experienced the advantages of liquidity like many other markets<br />
that were digitized and with such assets as gold and company stock tradable through modern<br />
technological platforms. It remained tedious, complex, slow-moving and costly. Real estate<br />
investors expect their funds to be locked up for several years; the minimum amounts to invest<br />
are high and there’s a lack of access to great global projects.<br />
Core Benefits:<br />
• Opening the real estate market to everyday investors.<br />
• Lowering investment thresholds – translation: you shouldn’t have to be mega-rich to start<br />
making money in real estate.<br />
• Clearing the way for local-stakeholder fundraising, revitalizing developing nations and<br />
depressed inner-city neighborhoods.<br />
• Removing regulatory hassles that bar all but the largest investors in the most lucrative real<br />
estate development projects.<br />
• Breaking down geographic barriers<br />
• SolidBlock is not conducting a Regulation Crowdfunding offering. Hosted by Wefunder Inc.<br />
Ideal Customers: Consumers (B2C)<br />
Milestones: In 5 years, we will open the real estate market to millions of people with over 1<br />
billion dollars of assets tokenized<br />
