In this episode, I’m speaking with Jake Gibson—Alto’s first customer, syndicate lead, and now podcast guest. Jake has been involved in the FinTech world for more than a decade, first as a co-founder of NerdWallet, then as a prolific angel investor, and now as a founding partner at Better Tomorrow Ventures.
There’s no question he has been carving his own path towards a better tomorrow. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
