FloatMe

If there is one thing that is certain in the life of building a company, that is change and evolution. And after 8 years of both founding and leading FloatMe from zero to signifcant scale and profitability, I’m excited to announce Ken Rees as our new CEO effective this week. In fact, I’ve always believed that part of my role as a founder and CEO is to bring on leaders who are excellent at what they do, so we can take the company to the next level. That is exactly what we’re doing by hiring Ken. From our first conversation to every conversation thereafter, I could tell he was not only excited, but he also knew the various pain points tightropers in America face. As for what’s next for me, I will continue to guide the business from a board level, but also support it in an operator role as President. Since starting the company, I’ve always had an obsession for helping America’s backbone stretch their pay to make ends meet, avoid late fees, get gas for work, or simply get groceries. These are examples of the numerous stories we’ve been a part of and I’m beyond proud to share that we've done this for over 1% of the U.S. population. With Ken now at the helm, we will accelerate this scale even further, expand our platform, and continue to push towards a vision where people can build and prove their financial potential. To our team and everyone who has played a role in our journey, I am so proud and grateful for what we’ve accomplished. It has truly been an honor and I can’t wait to see what more we accomplish next. #floatme

2025 was an incredible year for the team here at FloatMe. As more and more fintechs move up market to serve higher income consumers, we're doubling down on building the products and features for those who are being left behind. We shipped a variety of PFM features for our members, launched our new pay in 4 loan product in Texas, doubled our origination volume, and exceeded our revenue run-rate growth from the year prior. 2026 is off to a strong start with more features like rent reporting to build credit, subscription management, AI agents to service our members faster, and much more planned!
