About this event
Join us for a presentation and conversation with Matt Pierce, Founder and CEO of Immediate. Immediate (www.joinimmediate.com) is a mission-driven start-up success story and has been recognized as one of Birmingham’s fastest-growing tech companies. By offering a financial health platform for employees, including on-demand access to wages, Matt and Immediate provide a debt-free safety net for employees that may experience financial stress. This enables employees to avoid predatory payday lending schemes and smooth cash flow pressures while providing employers additional tools to attract and retain workers. From their early days as winner of Alabama Launchpad’s Early Seed Stage $100K investment to their rapid growth and newly built headquarters in Homewood, Matt will share the Immediate story and their plans for the future.
