Thanks to @paynecmwealth for taking the time to dive deep with @jimmychen about how we got started, and how we're working to serve millions of low-income households. #SNAPMatters
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.

SNAP payments are flowing again, and our emergency fundraiser with @GiveDirectly is now complete.
$11.9M delivered to nearly 240k families — roughly 4.4M meals!
We're grateful to everyone who made this possible.

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.

You can see what a card skimmer looks like here. instagram.com/elcajonpolice/…
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.

Congress just allowed the policy allowing victims of #EBTTheft to get reimbursed to expire.
Here's what people who use EBT need to know:
