Jimmy Chen founded Propel in 2014 with the ambitious vision of improving America’s safety net. $65 Billion of government benefits go unclaimed because of cumbersome and opaque processes. Even when those benefits are claimed, the user experience is frustrating.
Propel started by making one of America's most important social benefit programs, SNAPs, formerly known as food stamps more user friendly. Propel makes it possible for any of the 42 million Americans on SNAPs to check their balance from their phone instead of having to call a 1-800 number and wade through a cumbersome phone tree.
Today, Propel serves over 5 million people in all 50 states
To share how Propel vision expanded beyond SNAPs to become an all-in-one money app to include mobile banking, benefits info with the goal of patching America’s broken safety net, I’m excited to have Jimmy Chen here to share his story.
