Pathfinder announced $16M in Series A funding led by Portage, with Reach Capital, Gradient and Stand Together Ventures Lab participating.
The company serves US ESA (Education Savings Account) families with a 0% interest, no-annual-fee Pathfinder Card and an in-app pre-approval tool that lets parents check in seconds whether a purchase is ESA-allowable, avoiding out-of-pocket payments and clawbacks. The company is hiring.
