Sequin Rewards Visa? Debit Card

"Fintech for the Female Gaze" I couldn't have titled my chapter better, Nicole Casperson! Thank you for commemorating my founding journey and work with Sequin Rewards Visa? Debit Card in your new book, Fintech Feminists. It is incredibly well written and highlights the important and inspiring work of women defining the future of fintech. Check it out here (and support an amazing fellow female founder!): https://lnkd.in/gcKpngUd. #fintechfeminists

Last week, I was honored to have Parlay (Techstars '23) included in this wonderful article written by Nicole Casperson of Fintech Is Femme for Forbes called: ?? 17 apps created for women, by women ?? alongside some absolutely incredible female founders I admire and respect. ?? Why does this matter? Parlay's focus has always been on closing the gap for women, veteran, and minority-owned businesses. Women business owners in particular are driving a historic boom in new startup growth, but they are less likely to obtain funding through financial institutions or lenders. ?? This needs to change if we are going to sustain our economic competitiveness as a nation. ?? We're on a mission to help as many ♀ business owners out there as we can access affordable capital, through our partnerships with lenders that share our focus and our north star. If this applies to you, or if you know someone for whom this is a need, please reach out. ?? Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/d8n858Zh (and also, while you're at it, pre-order Nicole's upcoming book Fintech Feminists ?? ... run don't walk! ??♀? ) Featuring: Sallie Krawcheck Ellevest; Angel Rich CreditRich; Shivani Siroya Tala; Anam Lakhani Eve Halimi Alinea Invest; Andrea Martin Inokon Cadence Cash; Katrin Kaurov Aleksandra Medina Frich Money; Dana L.

Sequin Rewards Visa? Debit Card was featured in #Forbes today as one of 17 Fintech Apps Created by, and for Women! ?????? "Sequin, founded by Vrinda Gupta, a former Visa employee who was denied a credit card she helped design, offers a debit card specifically designed for women to fight the patriarchy and live debt free. The platform aims to address women's financial challenges, such as the "Pink Tax," higher interest debts, and banking fees. It provides up to 6% cashback on self-care purchases like beauty products and gym memberships. Sequin generates revenue through interchange and subscription fees, focusing on eliminating the financial disparities women encounter. After participating in Y Combinator's summer program in 2021, Sequin has raised $5.7 million—with over 90% of its angel investors identifying as women."
