Celebrating 20 Years of Innovation

0W7A3347

Innovation isn't just what we do at Fidelity Labs; it's who we are. This year marks a major milestone, 20 years of shaping the future of fintech, bold ideas, and incredible collaboration. To celebrate, we brought together past and present associates for a day of reflection, connection, and excitement for what’s coming. 

Two Decades of Scan, Try, Scale

Since its founding in 2005, Fidelity Labs has been Fidelity Investments’ in-house fintech incubator. Our mission is to build new ventures to enter new markets to better serve our customers. Over the years, we’ve launched a variety of businesses that leverage cutting-edge technology and Fidelity resources to design and deliver the best products and services. 

This anniversary event reminded us of the entrepreneurial spirit that drives Labs. Leaders like Sean Belka, Mona Vernon, Michael Schrader, and Evan Schnidman shared their reflections that underscored what’s possible when bold thinking meets a deeper purpose and the exciting future to come.

Demo Day 2025: Showcasing What's Next

While we honored the past, we are also looking forward. Fidelity Labs hosted our annual Demo Day, bringing fresh energy and many curious minds from across Fidelity Investments. The event highlighted our current start-ups, CatchlightSaifr, Fidelity Private Shares, and Fidelity Stock Transfer, and more, sharing business updates, product demos, and what’s next.

Demo Day is more than a showcase; it’s a celebration of progress, possibility, and innovation.


Looking Ahead

As we celebrate 20 years of Fidelity Labs and the success of Demo Day 2025, we are still committed to exploring and shaping the future of fintech. Here’s to our next chapter and the incredible people who make it all happen.
