Growing up, our CEO and Co-Founder, Dennis Cail, experienced the challenges of not being able to afford monthly bills. Whenever a service was about to be turned off, his family would decide which bills could be paid late in order to keep their basic services. This resulted in late fees and high-interest rates, creating a never-ending cycle. This inspired Dennis to create Zirtue and give a no-interest option to those struggling to pay their bills. Customers use Zirtue to borrow money from a friend or family member to pay their most important bills directly - giving them a hand up and ensuring everyone can meet their basic needs.

Reflecting on our incredible experience at SixThirty's CEO Summit, it was an honor for Zirtue's co-founder and CEO, Dennis C., to participate in the panel discussion on "Doing Well by Doing Good." He shared powerful stories that underscore the significance of addressing financial and savings gaps. Alongside Laurel Taylor, CEO of Candidly, they discussed how their observations of these disparities inspired them to develop solutions that enhance financial outcomes for individuals and families. We're grateful for the opportunity to network with fellow founders and professionals passionate about making a difference in the financial sector! #Zirtue #FinTech #DebtTech #FinancialInclusion

Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay, the symbolic day when Latina women's earnings "catch up" to non-Hispanic white men's earnings from the previous year—ten months and 3 days later. 🤔 Latinas are paid just 51 cents for every dollar paid to white men, non-Hispanic men, losing out to nearly $1 million throughout a 40-year career. Latinas and their families are disproportionately affected by the persistent gender wage and racial wealth gaps, making them especially vulnerable to financial hardship. Zirtue is dedicated to fighting these inequities and creating a more financially inclusive world. We’re on a mission to provide affordable loans for everyone - including Latina women. #Zirtue#EqualPayDay #Págame #BorrowMoney #Lending

TruStage Ventures you never disappoint! Last week, at the annual Fintech Summit, I had the honor of kicking off the fintech demos with a pitch that left the crowd, well I’d say laughing. It was incredible to hear credit union executives recognize Zirtue Pay as a much needed solution for their members because life happens and catalytic converters break (or so I have heard). If it isn’t wild enough that over $200 billion is borrowed between family and friends every year in the US, some executives shared that they will encourage their members to call up family or friends when they are falling delinquent on a loan and did not realize there was something out there like Zirtue. I’m excited for the partnerships that will flourish from this event and grateful for the chance to catch up with fellow portfolio companies to hear about their incredible growth since we last saw each other. If you saw my pitch and we did not get the chance to connect at the summit, please reach out! #fintech #ZirtuePay #TrustageVentures #financialinclusion
