Shelley: Wonderful to have time with you, Spiffy! There is growing interest in investing in the early years—and for good reason. Children with high-quality early experiences do better in school, earn more income over their lifetimes, and enjoy better health. Furthermore, their parents are more secure in employment, and their families are more stable. That’s why for decades my colleagues and I have developed and implemented programs that meet children’s needs and support the grown-ups in their lives. Two of our signature programs are Start Right Now, which uses interactive audio instruction to link health, education, and workforce development, and First 10.
Tonna: Harlem Capital is a diversity-focused venture capital firm. This means we get to give people money to start companies and make their dreams come true. We're on a mission to change the face of entrepreneurship by investing in 1,000 diverse founders over the next 20 years. Unfortunately, diverse founders aren't given an equal share of opportunity—they only receive 3% of VC funding, meaning not everyone has access to money and resources to start companies. That's why we love to provide capital and support to diverse individuals—giving people of color and women of all races a chance to build new companies that change the world.
Om: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! For far too many, important purchases are either unaffordable or on the slippery slope of credit becoming debt. Why not "SaveAway® Now, Smile Later" to fulfill your important purchases memorably and affordably with your financial health and wellness at heart? And why not do this as part of an intelligently personalized plan that combines your auto-saving in installments with the support of friends, family, and best offers—all in ways that equally open up a wholly new channel for sellers to convert sales from customers they wouldn't have had otherwise? In this way, we can further a more perfect union where the path to prosperity becomes a human right. We can meld financial and social capital to ensure no goal is out of reach by #SavingForWhatMatters.
