Dean Leavitt
Dean M. Leavitt is the founder and CEO of Boost Payment Solutions, a New York fintech he launched in 2009 to build commercial card and B2B payment rails for large enterprises. A 30-plus-year payments veteran who previously ran public and bankruptcy-rescued processing companies, he spotted a vacuum in the roughly $125 trillion global B2B market and built patented straight-through processing technology now used across 45-plus countries by more than half the Fortune 100. Boost has landed on the Inc. 5000 five times and raised a $22 million Series C led by Invictus Growth Partners in 2021.
Daniel Simon
Daniel Simon is the founder and CEO of Coast, a New York fintech rebuilding the way commercial fleets pay for fuel, maintenance, and everything else that keeps work trucks moving. A software engineer turned Yale-trained lawyer, he co-founded the consumer lender Bread (sold for over $500M in 2020) before turning his attention to plumbers, HVAC installers, and landscapers - the 'real-world' businesses he felt a decade of fintech had ignored. Coast has raised more than $200M from ICONIQ Growth, Accel, Insight Partners, and Synchrony, and runs on Visa rails with an SMS-based driver authentication system that works on flip phones.
