Finance Forward US 2019

About the Program

Only 28% of people in the United States are considered to be “financially healthy” (Source: Financial Health Network). Everyday people and families have significant challenges managing money, getting a loan, and planning for the future.

For our sixth annual US-focused Financial Health accelerator, we’re looking for entrepreneurs using tech to help people manage their everyday finances and build wealth.

The accelerator is a collaboration between Village Capital, MetLife Foundation, and PayPal. We’re encouraging applications from entrepreneurs building high-growth, scalable solutions that will help people and families move towards the following financial health outcomes. We’re looking for startups developing creative, outside-the-box solutions to helping people and families in the United States become financially healthier.
