    The Jung Money Podcast #25: Andy Bromberg - CEO of Eco

    Andy Bromberg is the CEO of Eco, a blockchain-enabled fintech company that is trying to revolutionize modern banking and disrupt financial infrastructure. Andy and his team at Eco realized that current banks are still utilizing extremely outdated batching systems and clearing procedures based on horse-drawn carriages. While banks have added better layers of technology, there is a true need to rebuild from the ground up. Fortunately, innovative advances in blockchain technology, improvements in fintech interoperability, and growing consumer mistrust of institutions have created the perfect environment for Eco to succeed. To date, Eco has raised around $100M from major VCs including a16z Crypto, Lightspeed, and Founders Fund.    A crypto early adopter, Andy has been building products and businesses in the blockchain space since 2012. His prior company CoinList played a major role in the ICO boom of 2017 and before that, he founded an expert-led political social network called Sidewire. Andy has been a major player in the startup ecosystem along with Ryan Breslow since dropping out of Stanford in 2014 and continues to be very involved in the community.

    The Jung Money Podcast #24: Brandon Garcia - COO @ Mira AI (acq by FemTec Health)

    Brandon Garcia is the COO/Co-Founder of Mira AI, an AI-powered beauty platform, that was recently acquired by FemTech Health. Brandon initially set out to leverage his data analytics skills, computer science acumen, and entrepreneurial passion to improve the broken customer journey in the beauty space, from browsing options to reading reviews to purchasing products. He was amazed by the warm welcome his team got from the beauty community yet shocked by how little technology was used to help and delight users. After building an impressive platform and raising $9 million from Unilever Ventures, Founders Fund, Glossier's Emily Weiss and others, Mira was acquired last year by FemTech Health, a conglomerate company which also owns Birchbox and will use its tech to send customers personalized products. Brandon now runs the product organization of Birchbox and is excited to continue growing as a technologist and leader. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and Stanford graduate, Brandon recently moved from Silicon Valley back to his native Miami to help shepherd the rapidly growing tech scene. Tune in to hear more about Brandon's startup journey, the beauty industry, and Miami's tech hub future.   You can follow Brandon at his socials below:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-c-garcia/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/__BCG__ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandedonyou/  Thanks for tuning in - stay up to date by following The Jung Money Podcast here:  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jungmoneypod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jungmoneypod Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/jungmoneypod Anchor: https://anchor.fm/jungmoneypod

    The Jung Money Podcast #21: Alex Monahan - Co-Founder of OddsJam

    In this episode, Teddy Jungreis interviews Alex Monahan. Alex is the Co-Founder of OddsJam, an innovative sports betting platform that helps bettors make data-driven decisions. Alex has always loved entrepreneurship, sports, and math - sports betting was fate for him. After graduating from Stanford in 2018, he went on to work as a quantitative analyst at the hedge fund, Susquehanna International Group (SIG). There he mastered his data analysis skills and soon realized that there was a massive opportunity in the nascent yet rapidly growing sports betting industry. Alex left SIG to cofound OddsJam with his high school/college friend, Ankit Goyal. The two chose a different path and completely bootstrapped OddsJam - in one year they've been growing like crazy!  On top of being a Co-Founder, Alex leads the content division and has catapulted OddsJam to a major content player with 18K subscribers on YouTube. They now plan to keep growing and focusing more on building THE HUB for sports bettors, from content to community and odds. Tune in to hear more about the future of sports betting and OddsJam!    You can follow Alex and OddsJam at these socials below:   Website: https://oddsjam.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/OddsJamInc Twitter: https://twitter.com/OddsJam TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oddsjamalex   Thanks for tuning in - stay up to date by following The Jung Money Podcast here:  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jungmoneypod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jungmoneypod Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/jungmoneypod Anchor: https://anchor.fm/jungmoneypod
