Big news: I’m joining Relief as VP of Strategy.
For the past several years at BTC Frontier Fund, I’ve focused on fintech and crypto, investing in the infrastructure behind the future of finance. Now, AI is opening up another way to transform financial services: disrupting the service businesses themselves. Rebuilding their cost structures around AI creates the opportunity to deliver an order of magnitude more value and a far better customer experience.
That’s what excites me about Relief. It’s tackling one of the biggest markets in finance: debt.
Borrowing is how millions of Americans pursue the American dream, from starting a business to buying a home. But when debt becomes unmanageable, it can set off a downward spiral that upends people’s lives. American households owe $18 trillion, yet getting help still means navigating call centers, collection agencies, and paperwork.
Robinhood made investing easy, Chime did the same for banking, and Lemonade for insurance. Relief is doing that for debt, with a bigger vision: becoming the place every American can turn to for a brighter financial future.
Relief is an AI-native services business in an industry built around human labor. Where legacy players grow by hiring more agents, Relief is built to scale through software, changing the economics of how many people we can help and how quickly we can reach them.
And it’s working. Relief has already attracted more than 200,000 users, helping people navigate billions of dollars in debt. This year, the team went from zero to millions in annual recurring revenue.
They’ve done the hard work of building the technology, creditor relationships, and customer trust to turn a big idea into a growing business. I’m joining to help accelerate that growth through expansion, new verticals, and investor relations.
I see a clear path from millions to nine figures in recurring revenue by helping more people regain control of their financial lives. That combination of business potential and human impact is why I’m excited to get to work.
If you work in consumer credit or debt, or invest in the space, I’d love to connect.
