Episode 118: Why I’m Betting on Fintech for Founders and Funders

In today’s episode, Casey breaks down why financial technology (fintech) is important for entrepreneurs and funders alike.

Whether you’re building a startup or building community funds, this episode will help you understand how fintech is creating new paths for financial freedom, flexibility, and inclusion.

Casey shares real-world examples like Flex, which lets renters split payments based on their pay cycles, and SoLo Funds, a peer-to-peer lending platform where users set their own terms and lean on community capital. These innovations aren’t just convenient — they’re reshaping how money moves through historically excluded communities.

If you’re serious about shifting power and expanding access, tune in.
