Ryan's post wonderfully recaps Parlay (Techstars '23)'s experience with Project Fintech ⬇ , which culminated Wednesday with a fantastic panel event in Nashville. 🎉 We had an incredible time and we significantly leveled up in the banktech space. A huge thanks to the entire program for this opportunity. In particular, Maryn (Cannon) Papazian and the EIRs Joe Maxwell and Lee Farabaugh for all their hard work and support.

Join us for the final Project Fintech event in Nashville on April 3rd! 🕰 Our CEO Alex McLeod, MBA will be joining a panel with Patrick T. and Jeff Fink, moderated by Ryan Jackson, to chat with Kandace Harris,MBA, Matt J., and Phil Shmerling about all things small business. Why should you care? Well, small business accounts for 44% of our US GDP. 📊 They literally power our economy, and they're vastly underserved. How can community banks and fintechs pair up to serve SMBs, deepen customer relationships, and expand the American Dream? 💭 This and more, see you there! 👋 CC: Nashville Entrepreneur Center JAM FINTOP American Bankers Association Jay Long Jeffrey Bray James Cho

We're proud to join the Center for Accelerating Financial Equity (CAFE)'s inaugural fintech cohort along with Muse Tax (Techstars '22), Wellthi, Stratyfy, NESTER, and Sunny Day Fund ☀️. Alex McLeod, MBA, Jay Long, and James Cho founded Parlay (Techstars '23) to help more small businesses get approved for loans from community banks and credit unions. 💸 The gap today is clear ⛔ : over 75% of small business applicants are not approved for loans and don't know why, or how to fix it. Our white label solution helps inclusive lenders offer those business owners a "not yet" instead of a "no" to those applicants, along with actionable, personalized recommendations to get them to a yes. 👍 This has proven to help increase pull-through rates, customer lifetime value, and "stickiness" for inclusive lenders who want to serve their communities. 📈 We're excited to be part of this cohort curated by the wonderful Kristen Castell, and look forward to teaming up with CAFE and the cohort to move the needle for small businesses in the mid-Atlantic. ⏳ Let's go!
