Founder Stories

Real impact. Real people.

Nathan Holmes

Founder of PumpTrakr

“Codefi is the engine that brought my idea into reality and made it marketable. I work really hard to do as much legwork as I can, and they're the professionals that make the app work. I rely heavily on their advice. They were and are a big help.”

Sho Rust

Founder of SHO.AI

“Codefi gave us the catalyst to really take an idea and turn it into a company. After the program, we've had year-over-year growth. It's been really great.”

Patrick Ranval
