    Fixing SMB Cash Flow with Ariel Blum, Founder of Receive

    In this episode of FinTech Layer Cake, Reggie Young sits down with Ariel Blum, Founder of Receive, to unpack the challenges of small business cash flow and why “earned revenue access” could transform how SMBs operate. Ariel shares his journey from watching his parents struggle with delayed payments, to working at Amex, Green Dot, and Melio, to ultimately founding Receive. They explore the future of embedded finance, fintech’s shift from “hot or not” to “essential,” and how solving cash flow timing mismatches could unlock massive opportunities for the 33 million small businesses in the U.S. and beyond.
