Meet the future of fintech: The first Curinos FinTech Incubator cohort
This powerful new program brings together startups redefining what’s possible in financial inclusion, personalization, and behavioral innovation.
Selected from a competitive field, the 2025 cohort includes:
Nudge Money
Nudge Money uses AI and behavioral science to help credit unions and community banks transform raw data into personalized, automated engagement that drives deposit and loan growth. By tailoring outreach at scale, Nudge empowers smaller institutions to compete with digital-first fintechs without adding headcount or major infrastructure.
Parish
Parish turns justice-related financial obligations into credit-building opportunities for families impacted by incarceration. Through its flagship product, Jump, the platform enables users to report payments to major credit bureaus, helping them build credit, improve financial stability, and break the cycle of generational poverty.
Prof of Wall Street
Prof of Wall Street combines behavioral finance research with AI to detect and correct investment biases in real time. Its modular analytics platform helps financial institutions identify patterns in investor behavior and deliver personalized insights that improve portfolio performance, engagement, and retention.
