It's almost that time of year.

The 2017 Benzinga Global Fintech Awards is a competition to showcase the companies with the most impressive technology that are paving the future in financial services and capital markets.

To get you prepared for this year's awards, Benzinga will profile each fintech company that has applied. Want to get involved? Submit your company here. For this installment, we spoke with Collective2's Matthew Klein.

What does your company do? What unique problem does it solve?

Collective2 is a trading and investing web site. Great traders from around the world ask Collective2 to track their brokerage results in real time. Then other investors can “subscribe” to these traders, and automatically follow their trades in their own brokerage account. In an investing landscape starved for idea generation and alpha, Collective2 is a crowdsourcing and crowdfunding mash-up, shaking up traditional models of what’s possible in wealth management.

Where are you located, and how long have you been in business?

Collective2 is headquartered in New York City and was founded in 2001. It has more than 110,000 registered users and 10,000 published strategies. Over $65 million dollars of investor capital is connected to the Collective2 platform.
