Priyank Singh, Co-founder, Stilt: FinTech providing loans for immigrants

On episode 67 of the GMI Rocket Show, we’re talking to Priyank Singh, co-founder of Stilt, a FinTech startup that provides loans and banking services to immigrants and other underbanked communities. Priyank first came to the US as an F-1 student in 2009 to study computer science at Columbia University. After graduating, he found a job and obtained his H-1B visa. The process wasn’t easy, and most of all, having no family or support system here, everyday things were, at times, more challenging - like paying for rent, getting a car, etc. Priyank actually met his eventual co-founder, Rohit Mittal, in grad school, but at first, they went their separate ways after graduating. Rohit to Verisk and POPSUGAR and Priyank to Microsoft and Amazon. But the idea of creating some kind of financial ecosystem to support immigrants… that stuck with them. Until they finally decided to pursue it. They got into YCombinator, and Stilt was born. So, here’s what we’ll be discussing: Priyank’s personal immigration experience and his early days in the US Priyank’s experience working at Microsoft and Amazon, and how that shaped him Why Priyank reconnected with Rohit, and their experience launching Stilt How Stilt started and what it does today Where Stilt is going and thoughts on immigration more generally And more!
