The Sandwich Chain Where Every Sub Helps Buy a Fire Truck
Two firefighter brothers turned steamed subs and a fire-station theme into a 1,300-store chain - and a charity that has bought more than $100 million in gear for first responders.
Modak
Modak (Modak Makers) is a San Francisco Bay Area fintech that gives kids and teens a no-fee Visa debit card paired with a gamified money app for families. Parents fund the card, assign chores, and monitor spending from a dashboard, while kids earn in-app rewards points called Mobucks (MBX) for completing challenges, walking, and learning good money habits. Founded in 2022 by ex-GGV Capital investor Madhu Yalamarthi and backed by a $5.3M seed round, Modak positions itself as a lower-cost, rewards-driven alternative to Greenlight and GoHenry, and says it serves 30,000+ families.
