Tyler Griffin has spent the last twelve years thinking about how to make money work better. He co-founded Prism Money, a consumer-focused bill payment product that allowed for instant and free payments to over 15,000 banks and billers.

Following Prism's sale, Tyler became entrepreneur-in-residence for the Financial Solutions Lab, a partnership between JPMorgan Chase and CFSI. In this role, he mentored sixteen fintech companies focused on improving Americans' financial health. In 2018 he co-founded Restive Ventures, a seed-stage fintech VC fund, in which he serves as a Managing Partner.
Prior to starting Prism, Tyler worked in the Mergers & Acquisitions group at JPMorgan’s and Citigroup’s Investment Banking offices in New York City.
