Questions & Answers
Can you share a distinctive achievement or highlight from your career?
I ran a HFT team that was responsible for 20% of the ADV of some of the most traded financial products in the US.
What's the story behind your company?
A friend's friend pitched the exact opposite idea of Coverd to me and my cofounder. It was the most anti-human startup idea I've heard.
Why are you excited about your company/product?
We have seen the best of consumer spending products (credit cards, buy-now-pay-later, cash advance), and the best of gamification products (Robinhood, PrizePicks, CoinBase). However, Coverd is the first ever combination of these two and we are on a mission to completely gamify personal finance.
