Chris Ricciardi & Chuck Trafton are the co-founders of Edly - the ISA Marketplace that allows its investors to earn monthly income while supporting students. Their company allows investors to invest in the education of students and get paid a percentage of the students’ future earnings. 

 

We’ll talk all about how this ISA (Income Share Arrangement) relationship works as well as ask Chris & Chuck to share exactly how Edly is uniquely positioned to optimize results for both their investors and the students they invest in. 

 

Prior to Edly, Chris held a series of high-profile and influential positions. Those include: 

Partner at FlowPoint Education Management

Chairman of PLAAY Sports - which uses AI to automatically create personal sports highlight videos

Principal and Mead Park Management

President and CEO of Cohen & Company - a financial services company that managed $40 billion in assets

Just to name a few…

Chuck (after referring to Chris as the "go-to on the 'street' when it comes to structured credit investments) carries with him these following experiences as well:

Managing Partner and Portfolio Manager at FlowPoint Capital Partners

Co-founder at FlowPoint Education Management

Director and Portfolio Manager at the Boston Company Asset Management

Principal at America's Growth Capital

A Credited Actor with Paramount Pictures (I couldn't resist asking about this one... early)

Among others

 

I could’ve talked with Chris and Chuck for hours about Edly and all of their past accomplishments. There’s so much great intel in this episode - so please enjoy my wide-ranging conversation with Chris Ricciardi and Chuck Trafton!!
