Terms in plain English
The Financial Solutions Lab, run by the Financial Health Network, was established in 2014 to support and scale startups that improve financial health for underserved consumers, historically with backing from JPMorgan Chase and later Prudential. It historically provided non-dilutive capital, meaning funding without taking equity. Current award amounts, terms, and selection criteria are not published, and the program page lists no open application. No new cohort has been announced in over 18 months.
Who this is actually for
Historically, this fit mission driven fintech founders building products for financially underserved consumers, including people with low to moderate incomes. Until a new cohort is announced, founders should treat this as a program to watch rather than one to apply to.
