Black Dragon Capital, a global investment firm specializing in disruptive technologies, intends to use the conference to foster collaboration between future-forward credit unions and its own portfolio companies. Hernandez, a veteran of the fintech space with leadership experience at firms like Open Solutions and Payveris, will focus on how institutions can navigate the convergence of capital, technology, and shifting consumer expectations.

The firm recently established the Black Dragon Capital FinTech Limited Partner Advisory Board to deepen these ties. This group brings together credit union and CUSO investment partners to provide strategic direction on fintech strategies, aiming to build sustainable, long-term businesses that solve industry-specific hurdles. Beyond the roundtable, the firm’s leadership team will hold meetings with entrepreneurs and partners throughout the event to discuss potential strategic alliances.
