Our team is passionate about harnessing technology and policy knowledge to benefit consumers. Having helped companies scale their operations in a range of highly regulated industries, I am excited to guide Summer’s growth in a sustainable manner that aligns our interests with those of student loan borrowers. I see student debt as a critical issue both as a burden at a personal level that impacts major life decisions—often in ways that exacerbate preexisting societal imbalances—and in terms of the macroeconomic consequences of having a generation of Americans burdened by rising tuition costs.

Bronx, New York

Like most student loan borrowers, I was overwhelmed by the repayment process when I graduated from college. I chose to work in finance so that I could pay off my debt, and was excited to work in fintech startups once I got my debt under control. When I met Will and Paul at a pitch competition, I fell in love with Summer’s mission. I feel lucky to come to work every day to help make the process less painful for everyone.

I know first-hand the impact of financial instability and the role that student debt can play. I don’t take any day of financial health for granted. Today, as I pay monthly loans off my small fraction of our collective $1.5 trillion debt load, I’m proud to be part of a team that’s committed to helping other borrowers find their way out of the student loan maze.

There is nothing wrong with investing in your own education, even if it means taking on debt.  Over time, our system for loan repayment has become overly complicated, and borrowers are making uninformed decisions that are often not in their best interests.  Summer represents the best of what fintech should be—leveraging technology to provide everyone with access to complete information and the ability to make and implement smart decisions for their financial health.

Upper Arlington, OH

After finishing grad school in debt and navigating repayment as a freelance musician, I understand how opaque and complex the process can be. It took working in investment management to develop my financial health and perspective. I want to make sure everyone can take that journey no matter what field they’re in. Debt repayment and financial planning are the foundational steps to building a life that looks the way you want it to. I’m honored to be working with Summer to support borrowers with expert help and make student debt manageable.

Student loans have impacted many people’s lives. Impressed by Summer’s mission, I joined the founding team as a data scientist to work with a talented team on a critical issue. At Summer, I am able to utilize the power of data science to analyze complicated student loan cases and turn our findings into a scalable product for millions of student loan borrowers. We care about data, and even more importantly, we care about the people we serve.

The student loan crisis is forcing a generation of my peers to put a mortgage on our futures. The byzantine structure that exists for managing one’s loans just makes the already huge burden of student debt all the heavier. I’m a big believer in empowerment through knowledge, and Summer is doing great work to help educate people about their student loan options and give them back control over their lives. I’m excited to be part of a team that is dedicated to making a positive change in the world, and solve fun technological challenges along the way.

There are plenty of difficult problems in technology; some matter more than others. Addressing the student debt crisis presents a challenge that has the potential to change people’s lives. The people at this company care deeply about solving this problem. Every person we can help is one fewer who has to live with anxiety and one more who can live a fulfilling life without the burden of student debt.

Washington, D.C.

An investment in yourself and your education is possibly one of the best decisions anyone can make in their life. People should feel empowered to make that investment without the looming threat of a never-ending cycle of debt. I think that with the proper data, technology, and compassion we can make navigating the complex system of repayment a more human and approachable process. I’m excited to work with Summer to help empower people to tackle their student debt and build a solution from the ground up!

Ridgewood, NJ

As a fellow student, I have experienced the impact and burden of debt firsthand. When I first heard about Summer, I was greatly inspired by the opportunity to build tools that help borrowers save. Excited by the problems being solved here, I hope to use my passion for engineering to build reliable and intuitive products that can help people alleviate the pressure of debt and live a better life.

Chinantla, Mexico

My education has taught me how to apply the knowledge of computer science to help solve real-world problems such as the student debt crisis. Student loans can be much less scary with the right guidance. I chose to intern at Summer because the company is using advanced technology and policy expertise to provide the guidance needed for borrowers to effectively pay back their loans. After all, the outcome of higher education should not be putting your life on hold due to high monthly payments. Summer is working to make the loan repayment process easier.

Gainesville, FL

Hearing people say they regret pursuing higher education because of the seemingly never-ending cycle of student loan debt is ridiculous and upsetting. With a background in helping students with their personal finance skills, I am extremely excited to join the Summer team to help educate people about their repayment options and save borrowers money to regain control of their financial lives. I am eager to apply my business background to help Summer grow and reach its full potential.

From the start, Summer’s founders have been clear that building a diverse, inclusive team is a core value. That’s not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s key to the success of a company striving to fix a systemic issue impacting socioeconomic injustice in the US. I’m picky about working with organizations that practice what they preach, and Summer is facing that challenge head on.
