Fintech Cadence’s Post

✨ Today, we want to take a moment to thank a special individual who has had a tremendous impact on our organization and the entrepreneurial ecosystem in #Montreal. ✨ In the last few weeks, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of District 3 Innovation and its founder, Xavier-Henri Hervé, and we would like to reflect on both the organization and its leader's profound impact on the sector. For those who may not know, Fintech Cadence is a proud product of District 3, created in 2016 and conceived by our founder, Jan Christopher Arp, with invaluable support from Xavier. Our journey as Canada's Biggest Fintech Hub would not have been possible without the resources, connections, and unwavering belief that District 3 provided. We represent just one of many success stories; District 3 stands as a cornerstone of innovation in Montreal, with their achievements evident in resulting thriving companies, talented individuals, and groundbreaking ideas. The success of District 3 is a testament to its incredible team, past and present, but none of this would have been possible without Xavier and his leadership. While Xavier is stepping away from District 3 and focusing his efforts at The Autism House (https://lnkd.in/eS_5AkuT), his impact will be felt for years. His vision for the space—a place where anyone, regardless of their university, background, industry, or experience, is welcome—is how ideas are genuinely created and how an ecosystem becomes dynamic. His mentorship extends to the leadership at Fintech Cadence, where Layial El-Hadi and Geraldine Holliday were also part of the District 3 community through past startups. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from him and appreciate his shared support and guidance. We proudly embrace our origins in District 3 and are excited to continue representing Montreal’s vibrant #fintech sector. Thank you, Xavier, for everything you have done for the innovation community and Happy 10th Birthday to District 3 💛 ! Thank you.

This means you have dreamed it out, you team up, you roll up your sleeves and you give it all you got. And it happens! the world around you takes a form you contributed to. Cool! super cool! But it is only possible because of your energy and spirit. So I am the one thanking you! GRAND MERCI!
