Welcome to Episode 131 of The VentureFizz Podcast, the flagship podcast from the leading authority for jobs & careers in the tech industry.

For this episode of our podcast, I interviewed Dan O'Malley, Founder and CEO of Numerated.

Dan has built a strong level of domain experience in the Fintech industry. What is really interesting about his career is how he’s been a driver of innovation at startups, as well as much larger companies.

At Capital One, he built their payment product into one of the company's largest strategic initiatives. As CEO and Co-Founder of Perkstreet Financial, they built an online-only consumer banking startup, which just didn’t hit the market right from a timing point of view.

He later joined Eastern Bank as the Co-Founder and Head of Eastern Labs, the company’s innovation arm which was built to help keep Eastern Bank competitive in their industry.

It was this experience that has led to the founding of Numerated, a company that was spun out of the lab and is focused on helping banks grow relationships faster with its real-time sales platform. Numerated recently announced a $15M Series B round of funding.

In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of topics like:

-How innovation works at larger companies.

-Dan’s background story and a walk through his career.

-All the details on Numerated’s platform and why the company was spun outside of Eastern Bank, plus its growth and hiring plans.

-The current state of FinTech in Boston.

-Advice for first-time entrepreneurs on raising capital.

-And so much more.
