They Help Banks Underwrite Cannabis Founders, $500k ARR Now, $1m Soon?
Justin Fischer is CEO and Co-Founder of RiskScout, a leading company helping financial institutions bank higher risk businesses such as Hemp, CBD, Cannabis, MSB, Private ATMs, Crypto, and many more. Small to medium-sized businesses in higher-risk and specialty markets are not able to access financial services because many providers lack the resources, expertise, or infrastructure to expand their business portfolio into higher-risk markets. This compliance barrier leaves many hard-working entrepreneurs and community businesses without the financial services they need to grow. By helping financial institutions solve complex compliance with technology solutions, RiskScout helps local businesses in higher-risk markets find a community partner that they can trust.
