NIX Celebrates Innovation and Supports Tampa Bay Startups

At NIX, we’ve spent over three decades helping companies, from ambitious startups to Fortune 500 enterprises, to deliver measurable results. Our story began in a small garage in 1994, driven by a simple idea: understand the problem, apply the right technology, and empower people to achieve more. Today, we are a global team of over 3,000 experts, but that same philosophy continues to guide everything we do.

Supporting startups has always been at the heart of NIX. Long before becoming a global technology partner, we helped founders navigate the early challenges of product development. Challenges that could make or break a startup. Many faced limited resources, tight budgets, and the pressure to deliver a working product before investors lost patience. Founders often struggled with choosing the right technology stack, building reliable prototypes, and establishing scalable architectures that could grow with the business.

Over the years, NIX provided hands-on guidance to address these hurdles, helping startups build functional products while implementing the systems and workflows needed to scale sustainably. We have seen firsthand how the right technology, combined with human ingenuity, can accelerate growth.

Being a sponsor of the 2025 FinTech|X Accelerator was a natural extension of this commitment. Partnering with Tampa Bay Wave, Florida’s leading accelerator and startup support organization, allowed us to connect with local founders, share our expertise, and help them tackle the complex challenges of scaling a business. 

Our speaker, Evgen Temchenko, Head of Enterprise Engineering at NIX, shared insights that resonated deeply with fintech founders:

Scaling used to mean adding headcount and processes. Today, it means using AI to amplify your team, automate repetitive tasks, orchestrate workflows, and free humans to focus on value creation. AI doesn’t replace people—it replaces limits.

Evgen illustrated how AI can transform product development and operations: accelerating software delivery with AI-powered coding assistants, automating workflows across finance, HR, and customer service, and modernizing legacy systems in a fraction of the time. For fintech founders, this translates into faster go-to-market, lower operational costs, and a significant competitive edge.

Founders often worry about whether the technology will integrate smoothly, whether the AI will deliver real business value, or if timelines and budgets will spiral out of control. They may fear losing control of sensitive data, or that the solution will be too complex for their teams to adopt effectively. At NIX, we address these concerns directly. By combining deep industry expertise with a hands-on approach, we ensure AI solutions are tailored to each business, while keeping founders in control every step of the way.

If you’re a startup founder looking to scale smarter with AI, connect with NIX and let our experts help turn your ideas into solutions that deliver real impact.
