The story

Fierce was founded in early 2023 by Robert Cornish, former CTO of Gemini, with the thesis that a consumer finance super app could be built by aggregating best-in-class fintech infrastructure rather than building from scratch. The product launched with a high-yield FDIC-insured checking account (Fierce Cash) as its anchor, combined with investing and other financial products, targeting consumers who want multiple financial services in one place.
