Propel

Propel is a software company that aims to make America's safety net more user-friendly. Founded by Silicon Valley technologists, Propel deploys world-class software to fight poverty. Their free smartphone app, Fresh EBT, empowers families who receive government benefits like SNAP (food stamps) to manage their benefits and improve their financial health. Fresh EBT is used by over a million families across the country each month, and an independent study by Harvard Business School showed that Fresh EBT prevented one day of extreme hunger per month. Propel is supported by the Robin Hood Foundation, Andreessen Horowitz, Omidyar Network, and the Center for Financial Services Innovation.
