  • Bunny Money | Fabien Lamaison

    As a child, Fabien saved money in a piggy bank and already donated some of it to charities. Now an adult, realizing that online fundraising could be made better, he founded bunny.money, the better way for nonprofits to raise money in that it lets them keep 100% of their donations. Unfortunately, it’s common for nonprofits to have to pay between 3 and 11% in processing fees to get access to what is theirs. Listen to this podcast to hear Fabien share his inspiration and his vision for what is called the “save for good®” approach; and how bunny.money operates like a modern piggy bank for giving. You’ll also learn about the difference between a “piggy bank'' and a “bunny bank”, and why becoming a Certified Benefit Corporation (B Corp) was an important step for bunny.money.

  • Sloan | Bryan Harris, Angie Mayer, & Alec Tremaine

    One out of 4 Americans has a student loan, is a co-signer, or is affected by one in other ways. That’s roughly 45 million people. These are individuals like Bryan Harris, CEO and co-founder of SLOAN. He noticed that while it had gotten way easier to get paid (Zelle, Venmo, others), paying down a debt has remained very difficult as if debt collectors preferred it that way. Bryan had been looking for years for a company that would help him organize and pay down his student loan. He wasn’t able to find one, so he decided to start one himself - with a twist! Today, SLOAN is a financial technology platform that blends payment solutions and charitable giving to efficiently manage your student loans. Think Venmo meets GoFundMe. Listen to the 3 senior executives talk about what it took to turn this simple idea into a reality. Learn from their experience creating a fintech app. Hear how critical it is to iterate and refine your plans. How to run a shoestring operation with money from friends and family and how to overcome the difficulties of securing funding. About the importance of spending time on getting the foundation of your business 100% right. And why “Why?” is the most important question to ask when starting a company.

  • Constitution Lending | Ricardo Sims, CEO

    In this episode we talk with Ricardo Sims, CEO of Constitution Lending. Real Estate credit opportunities can be very lucrative, but are usually restricted to few market participants. Constitution Lending was founded by a team and advisors with Wall Street experience and a track record of generating returns across asset classes. Their vision is to  introduce sophisticated techniques to an unsophisticated market. Hear from Constitution CEO Ricardo Sims what drove the team to start the company, the challenges they had to go through, and how they succeeded. 

     

    Constitution was built for accredited investors who want to participate in a high yielding safe asset class previously only available to hedge funds and other institutional investors. Constitution is for borrowers that are tired of dealing with answering 500 questions from lenders just to have them delay closing because they decided that they needed to ask you another 500 questions before they give you a loan. Constitution’s loan application process is simple and straightforward. An average loan takes only 12-15 days to close.

  • Troperial Technologies | Olu Akinbayo, Co-Founder

    The Troperial Story: Over the past years, we have witnessed a large disruption in mobile international money transfers. Transacting business got easier, although at a high cost to individuals. This is where Troperial says 'I'm here to help'. Troperial was created to reduce high transaction costs and to provide a personal trading experience. Troperial offers an ever-evolving payment experience designed to foster quicker and fairer ways to exchange currencies. And the best part is, it's all at your prefered rate.


    Olu was an international student abroad when he sold his car in Nigeria. But accessing the money from the sale proved to be a major pain. First, there was a daily limit for his ATM transactions; second, a high transaction fee for each one. To access the money, Olu had to go to the ATM about 10 times and pay transaction fees each time. Out of his experience, he found a way to exchange currencies at a lower rate by eliminating the middleman. Instead, Troperial facilitates trading directly with other people looking to exchange the same currency, and negotiating your own rate. You choose what currency you'd like to exchange. Troperial matches you with a trusted trader. You negotiate the exchange rate and trade.
