I shared my thoughts on fundraising amid market volatility and how at @northstarmoney we’ve seen financial wellness is countercyclical––much needed in good times, and even more needed during bad times:

Northstar has raised $24.4 million in new funding led by GGV Capital and joined by new investors PayPal Ventures, Thomson Reuters Ventures, and Canvas Ventures.

Grateful for @bayareawriter for covering our story, values, and vision so well! We've been floored by the response from investors and customers, especially in this tough economic environment.
In raising $24.4M in a new round led by @GGVCapital, @northstarmoney co-founder and CEO @wp says:. “The time from the first meeting to the term sheet was about a month.".

Dennis is extraordinarily talented, and we're so excited to be partnering with him here at @northstarmoney!.
Humbled to say I'm joining @northstarmoney as their Head of Design next week ✨. Financial wellness is so important in today's day and age, but there is limited access to education around money. I believe this should be a fundamental right, and I'm excited to lead design here.
