Madeline Hung

Madeline Hung is the co-founder and CEO of Castle, a Hudson, New York fintech building payments infrastructure for the home - software that helps homeowners automate, consolidate, and reduce the cost of their biggest asset. She arrived at the idea the hard way, converting a derelict Hudson Valley photography studio into a livable house during the pandemic and discovering that tracking home spend felt like writing paper checks into a black hole. Before Castle she co-founded The Good Country with nation-branding strategist Simon Anholt and worked across human-rights research and citizen-engagement ventures, a path that runs from Oxfam and Health Leads to a seed-funded home finance app.
