Vedder
The Chicago law firm made its name where capital, regulation and moving machinery meet. Now a shorter name is putting a sharper frame around a 74-year-old business.
Pomelo
Pomelo (Pomelo Group) is a London- and Singapore-based payments technology company that provides a unified, API-based Payment Platform-as-a-Service. It gives financial institutions, fintechs and enterprises ready-to-use payment rails, merchant onboarding and management, transaction monitoring, and a range of acceptance methods - from QR codes and tap-to-pay to payment links and card issuing - under a single white-label platform. Founded in 2017 as Pomelo Pay, the company has grown into a regulated e-money issuer serving 2,000+ businesses across the UK and Southeast Asia.
ScribeUp
ScribeUp is an AI-powered, embedded recurring-bill and subscription management platform for banks, credit unions and fintechs. Founded by four MIT Sloan MBAs, it started as a consumer subscription manager, grew past 10,000 users, then pivoted to B2B - letting financial institutions embed subscription tracking, automated cancellation and a payment updater directly inside their own apps to deepen customer relationships and win card primacy.
Kory Kelly
Kory Kelly is the co-founder and CEO of Legal Karma, an Austin-based legal tech company that lets banks and credit unions sell wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to their members as easily as opening a checking account. A farm-town Texan turned university lecturer turned founder, Kelly has grown Legal Karma from a rejected idea pitched to skeptical lawyers into a B2B2C platform powering estate planning for over 100 financial institutions.
