So excited to have officially launched Spidr as its own company with 4 clients currently onboarding! Thank you Cofounders Capital, Galileo Financial Technologies and LoanPro for your support! We will support the fintech vertical the right way! Thank you Ramy Serageldin for joining me in this new venture! Couldn’t do this without you. Here’s to the future!!!! 🍾💲💵
Our friends at Cofounders Capital invests in startup led by former Wells Fargo executive and fintech veteran to launch Charlotte startup The company, Spidr, is set to launch by year end to address an issue in the Banking-as-a-Service space. Embedding banking solutions such as debit and credit cards continues to grow rapidly. But options for early-stage and middle-market companies have diminished, driving traditional BaaS businesses to fail or face increased regulatory scrutiny about the model. That problem played out this past spring. Synapse, a prominent BaaS company that acted as a middleman between fintechs and banks, collapsed in April due to accusations of losing track of customers' balances. That led to claims of missing funds for its fintech users, with nearly $160 million worth of deposits frozen as a result of the failure. The Synapse debacle didn't surprise Ramy Serageldin and Joyce Mehlman, co-founders of Spidr. They believe the key to a fintech's success is a direct relationship with all parties involved, which Synapse failed to provide. Spidr allows companies of varying sizes across different industries to build, launch and grow embedded banking and fintech products. Its flexible application programming interface (API) platform enables customers to access top card processors and vendors needed to go to market, he said. That's while upholding direct relationships with their bank partner, unlike conventional BaaS models. Spidr primarily targets early-stage fintech companies seeking a partner to go to market with, as well as established middle-market businesses looking to include embedded banking products in their services, Mehlman said. Embedded banking offerings could include debit cards, savings accounts or credit cards. Serageldin, Spidr CEO, is leading the startup after leaving Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) in April as head of connectivity solutions for open banking and embedded finance. He was also the co-founder and CEO of Honeyfi, a Charlotte app that helps couples manage their finances. Honeyfi was acquired in 2016. Mehlman joined Spidr as its president and chief operating officer. She has decades of experience in the fintech industry, currently serving as the founder of iLEX Consulting Group, LLC — a Nashville, Tennessee-based company that has helped more than 45 fintechs get to market. Spidr intends to use its $1.7 million of seed-round funding to hire employees, primarily in engineering, and for marketing and sales efforts, Serageldin said. The round was led by Cofounders Capital, a Cary-based venture capital company with a focus on companies in the Southeast. Spidr marked Cofounders' 10th investment out of its Fund III, a $50 million fund that closed last March and focuses on business-to-business software companies at the seed stage. https://lnkd.in/exuQPRPv
