1 in 8 Americans rely on SNAP for food each month. Starting Nov 1, millions won't receive their deposit, and more than half already have less than $10 in their accounts.

Propel has donated $1 million to a relief fund w/ @GiveDirectly. Want to help? Visit

Silicon Valley Forgot 42 Million Americans | Ep. 230

Most tech is built by insiders, for insiders. That’s why entire families get ignored.

@jimmychen @ThePropelApp came to the U.S. with $200, grew up learning scarcity the hard way — and realized Silicon Valley wasn’t building for people like his family. So he built it himself.

From 60 investor rejections and a $12K Kickstarter to a fintech serving millions and raising $90M.

Why haven't you had to worry about this?

Because chip cards have become ubiquitous in the commercial sector.

But EBT cards lag behind. And it's those with the least who lose the most.
