Seven years ago, I met Aditi Shekar, whose unique insights led her to find one massive blindspot: Banking is a single-player system - it evolved from a time when all finances were handled by the head of household. Modern families don't work like that. We are multi-earner, multi-spender. We are trying to teach our kids about the value of money, which is more and more challenging in a cash-less world. Families are multi-player money managers. We need banking services that recognize our more complex needs. Aditi was selected to the Female Founders Alliance first ever accelerator class in 2018. In 2021, we invested in her seed round. Her insight has turned into a revolution, which today culminates with their most exciting launch to date: banking for families.

I think of myself as a doctor, and founders as athletes—my job is to patch up their knee and push them back onto the field. That’s fun because I get so much energy from it!" Roy’s passion for supporting founders, especially those defying the odds, is contagious. It’s a reminder of how vital it is to have champions in your corner who believe in your journey and are ready to help you win. Check out this clip from our fireside chat where Roy shares his unique perspective on serving founders and why it’s such a fulfilling part of his career. 💬 Founders, what’s the most meaningful support you’ve received on your entrepreneurial journey?
