Our Founder

Alma Financial

We are building a high yield savings account with low fees and debit cards for underbanked population in the U.S. (and eventually, beyond).

We want to help people manage their spend and build credit. To encourage users to save, we plan to use the prize linked savings model (reference).

Our intention is to launch our MVP in 3 - 6 months.

The team

Agni was a PM who led growth for the fiat side of the Novi wallet, driving it from 200k to 40M users.

Funding

We graduated from YC in Summer '22. Since then we've raised about $1.5M and pivoted our idea to Alma.
