About

About the summit.

Creative Capital Summit is a two-day virtual gathering for the people building, funding, and using the new lending stack. Embedded credit, BNPL, revenue-based financing, on-chain credit, Bitcoin lending, real-world assets, peer-to-peer, and crowdfunding — all in one program.

We bring together three audiences who rarely meet in one room: operators building non-bank credit platforms, investors backing them, and founders raising capital outside the venture-capital track. The agenda is built for honest conversation about what is working, what is broken, and where the next wave of credit infrastructure is heading.

Free to attend. Recordings included. 1:1 matchmaking based on what you are working on. October 22–23, 2026 — all sessions in Pacific Time.
