After Andrew Hamilton was impacted by his company’s layoffs during the pandemic, he received a COBRA letter in the mail. He needed to figure out healthcare – and fast – but the process was stressful and antiquated. Like the tens of thousands of Americans who are laid off each year, Andy had sticker shock at the steep out-of-pocket costs associated with COBRA and thought, “Is this really my only option? Why isn’t there a better solution?” Enter When - a benefits platform founded by Andrew Hamilton and Daniel Wertheimer that offers exiting employees with the resources they need to manage their transition, while helping employers reduce costs and risk associated with COBRA. We announced our support of When's $4.6M Seed round last week - read more about "Why We Invested" here: https://lnkd.in/ePXcutcs #fintech #teamttv cc: Lizzie Guynn, Neil Kapur, Sean Banks, Gardiner Garrard, Laney Lewis, Colin Koerin, B Capital , Aaron Weitzman, Joyance Partners, Alumni Ventures, Network Ventures, Enfield Capital, LLC, Research Division, Daniel Wertheimer, Jen Zimmerman

When we first met Kevin Nazemi, the Co-Founder and CEO of Charlie, we were immediately impressed by his laser focus on meeting the financial needs of retirees and soon-to-be-retirees. Kevin’s personal story – helping his father navigate a maze of insurance, healthcare, and financial services bureaucracy after an acute health issue – made him realize that far too few resources existed for this population, and that there is a huge need for solutions that are specifically designed for this stage of life. Congrats to the team on the announcement of their latest innovation, SpeedBump, to further protect older Americans from financial fraud.

🎙⚡️ Excited to share Episode 48, our latest podcast with Kareem Saleh, Founder and CEO of FairPlay AI, the world's first Fairness-as-a-Service company backed by leading venture investors Nyca Partners, Fin Capital, TTV Capital. Financial institutions use FairPlay AI’s APIs to embed fairness considerations into their marketing, underwriting, pricing, and collections algorithms as well as to automate their fair lending compliance. 🎧 Listen to the entire episode here: https://lnkd.in/diAJsUk4 🎙⚡️In this insightful conversation, we discuss the challenges and triumphs of building a technology-driven solution to one of today's most pressing issues in financial services. Tune in as we cover Kareem’s journey from growing up in the vibrant and diverse city of Chicago, to helping negotiate the Paris Climate Agreement serving in the Obama Administration, and before diving into AI and machine learning. 🎙⚡️Kareem's story is a compelling blend of personal experience and professional achievement. Background and Early Influences Raised in Chicago by North African immigrant parents, Kareem was deeply influenced by the city's academic and political environment. His early exposure to international events and technology sparked his interest in economic development and civil rights. Early Career and Ventures Kareem's initial foray into technology included working on an AI startup aimed at preemptive search queries. This experience, combined with his work at the U.S. State Department on the Paris Climate Agreement, solidified his belief in AI's potential to drive social change. Commitment to Fair Lending Witnessing his mother's challenges in securing a loan as an immigrant inspired Kareem to address financial disparities. He discovered that many lending models were biased against minorities and women, which motivated him to seek fairer credit underwriting solutions. Founding Fairplay AI Kareem co-founded FairPlay AI to eliminate biases in credit underwriting using advanced algorithmic fairness techniques. A notable success included helping a major mortgage originator increase approval rates for applicants without increasing risk. Vision and Team Building Kareem stresses the importance of a diverse and high-performing team, hiring for potential and fostering trust. His vision for FairPlay AI is to create inclusive financial systems, ensuring fair credit decisions and promoting social progress. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did! 🙏🏼🎧💡

We're often asked the question: "How are you adjusting your strategy based on [insert the latest market or investment trend]?" And we always answer the same way. Last week, TTV Capital Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Gardiner Garrard, shared his perspective with The Wall Street Journal’s Brian Gormley in the WSJ Pro VC newsletter: “We haven’t changed how we evaluate investment opportunities, and we don’t plan to make adjustments as a result of the current environment. The criteria that we’ve relied on for the past 24 years remains the same: we’re always looking for capable, hard-working entrepreneurs with an idea to solve a problem in financial services. We screen for founders who can build a real business, rather than ones who tell a story around scaling rapidly. While other investors may have cooled on fintech, for us, it’s never been about following the trends. It has always been about the ways that technology can bring about innovation in financial services," Gardiner Garrard, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, TTV Capital cc: Jen Zimmerman, Laney Lewis, Sean Banks, Lizzie Guynn, Paul Todd, Neil Kapur, Sapphire Partners, AllegisCyber Capital #wsj #teamttv #fintech
