This week’s call is with Dan Roselli – Managing Director of QC Fintech.

Dan jump-started Charlotte’s startup scene in 2011 when he purchased the old Packard Place building in uptown Charlotte. His vision was to turn it into a co-working space and use it to help incubate technology – specifically financial technology – companies looking to leverage Charlotte’s vast experience in banking and finance.

Fast forward 5 years and QC Fintech is known around the world as a great incubator program for Fintech companies. The Charlotte community has embraced it as well with hundreds of mentors volunteering to support the class of 10 companies – out of more than 140 applicants in 2016.

Listen to find out what Dan has to say about where the Charlotte startup scene has come from, what it has to offer, and what he may look like down the road.
