Grid

Grid is a fintech company on a mission to level the financial playing field for hard-working Americans by building products that help users better manage their financial future. Founded in 2018 and backed by $22.5M in funding from top-tier investors including Goodwater Capital, Unusual Ventures, Obvious Ventures, Fika Ventures, and Defy.vc, Grid has already helped thousands of users access cash advances, build credit, optimize taxes, and more. The company operates a high-velocity cash advance product processing thousands of transactions daily, serving subprime customers who have been underserved by traditional financial institutions. Grid's culture is a strict meritocracy based on output and impact — team members who deliver results rise quickly. The company is deeply data-driven, building much of its core technology in-house including financial ledgers, payment processing systems, and AI-driven workflows. With a team of ~51 people across Seattle and San Francisco, Grid is targeting 5x growth over the next 12 months and is positioned for a significant funding round as it scales its lending and tax products.
