As the founder of AKUVO and a proud recipient of a Curql investment, I want to express our deep appreciation for their support. Having worked with both VC and PE firms in the past, I can confidently say that what Curql is doing is truly transformative for the credit union industry. What sets Curql apart is their holistic approach—they don’t just provide capital. They offer strategic guidance, meaningful connections, and a genuine commitment to strengthening our ecosystem. In many ways, that support is just as valuable—if not more so—than the funding itself. To my fellow credit union leaders: If you haven’t yet explored investing with Curql, I strongly encourage you to consider it. Your investment doesn’t just fund innovation—it fuels the future of our industry.

The credit union movement will continue to thrive when aligning with innovative organizations! First Florida Credit Union loves the union with Curql

One of the first things I did when arriving to the U.S. for college 15 years ago was to sign up for a student checking account with Stanford Federal Credit Union. What drew me to a credit union was its fundamental difference from the “too big to fail” banks. It felt right to put my money in a member-owned, nonprofit institution where financial gains directly benefit the community it serves. But, anyone who's been watching financial services in the last decade will know that credit unions are facing an existential threat in the face of megabanks and neobanks. As part of the Curql Accelerate cohort, I got to spend a week in Raleigh, NC with Coastal Credit Union. We gained unrestricted access to the executive leadership and internal operations. Everyone openly shared their aggressive approach towards technology adoption. Their strategy has enabled them to stay competitive and defy the nationwide trend of slowing credit union growth. I learned about the grassroots movement by credit unions to diversify their tech stack and embrace fintechs / AI to bring better products and services to their members. I also learned that efficiency lies at the core of the existential challenge credit unions face. Enhanced efficiency can directly improve the member experience in various ways - from drive-up interactive teller machines to automated vendor management software. 😉 Oh, and Coverbase now also has a fully-owned subsidiary that's also a CUSO. Thanks to the Curql Accelerate powered by gener8tor team (Jim Ryan Rowan M. Hume Caroline McManus Precious P. Drew Nick Evens) for giving us the opportunity to be part of the program, and for the Coastal team for sharing so openly with us! Tyler Grodi David J.

No better partner than Curql. We feel so insanely lucky!

Innovation begins with openness—a willingness to explore new ideas and collaborate across boundaries. Organizations like Curql are fueling this spirit of curiosity and connection, creating space for bold thinking and practical solutions. I had the chance to join their Accelerate Mentor Swarm alongside thoughtful leaders and startups like GetReset, CharmSecurity, Themis, FinGoal, and CruxAnalytics—it’s the kind of collaboration that pushes all of us forward. What new idea has sparked excitement for you lately? #CUInnovation #CurqlAccelerate #LeverageForward #Collaboration #NewIdeas #InnovationInAction #MyLEVERAGE

Excellent collaboration and sharing of ideas.

Proud to be part of Curql and the credit union movement 🙏🏻💪🏻

Curql is revolutionizing Fintech solutions for credit unions, tapping into our century-long cooperative foundation. The fusion of VC/PE, the cooperative ethos, and top-tier fintech is truly remarkable. #Fintech #Cooperative #Innovation

Curql’s support for ModernFi CUSO is a perfect example of credit unions coming together to strengthen the movement. As a collective of credit unions, Curql shares the same mission that drives our network — enabling credit unions to serve a wider range of member segments and keeping in the credit union system. It’s people helping people, credit unions helping credit unions. With Curql, we gained not only investment, but also trusted relationships, deep industry knowledge, and a partner fully aligned with our vision for the future of credit unions.

If you’ve ever questioned whether credit unions actually invest in startups, here’s your answer: They do, and they’re doing it in a big way. 💰 Curql, a venture capital firm co-owned by credit unions, just announced it has raised a staggering $360 million to back innovative fintech startups, making it the largest credit union-led fintech fund in history. 🚀 lnkd.in/eNrUBWg6

So proud of the work Curql is doing for Credit Unions and Fintech collaboration.
