Leap Fund
I am the Founder, CEO of Leap Fund, a financial solution that lifts people over the benefits cliff, creating a path towards self-sufficiency and financial independence.
Leap Fund won the Reconstruct Challenge (2022), City Fellowship from Company Ventures (2022), NYC Recovery Challenge through Google for Startups, Cornell Tech, and tech:nyc (2022), The Financial Solutions Lab Accelerator (2021), The Workers Lab Innovation Fund (2020), The Nonprofit Fintech Exchange grant from the Financial Solutions Lab @ The Financial Health Network (2020), was an +Acumen CivicX Accelerator: Future of Work venture (2019), and has been graciously supported by the Robin Hood Foundation (2019-present).

I presented Leap Fund’s work about benefits cliff to the United States House of Representatives Committee on Rules (2021). See further selected press mentions.
