All right. It's OK Computer. I'm Dan Neath. I am here with my guest, Chuckie Reddy. He is a

partner at QED investors. He is a venture capitalist focused on fintech. Chuckie, welcome to

OK Computer. Thanks for having me. You know, it's funny, you and I have gotten to know each other

over the last year since you become a VC. You have a storied career on the banking side.

We're going to get into all that. Your name rolls off the tongue a little bit. You're also one of these guys that

ever since I've gotten to know you, you always have a smile on your face. It could be like a

really bad day in the market or whatever. You just, you're still happy. You're still in a good

mood and you're kind of like a fun guy to be out with after like a tough day in the market. Is that

fair? Have you heard that before? Thanks, man. I really appreciate that. I think it also helps that we both have drinks in our hands. Well, all right. That is actually, okay, fine. That's the root of it. But the other thing I was going to say is like you and I recently, we've had a few conversations like this should be a podcast. Really? Yeah. Are you a listener podcast? I have just started to do that.

Really? I was late to the game. What do you generally do? Do you do stuff like sports, entertainment, or are you the main reasons why you chose after 17 years at J.P. Morgan to join QED, founded by, what, some pioneers in fintech. I mean, these were personal finance people 30 years ago in the space,

correct? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, and then just kind of morphing the whole way along started,

what, Capital One Financial? That's right. So Nigel Morris co-founded Capital One. He's a co-founder

of QED. Yeah. His co-founder of QD, Frank Rodman, was, in my opinion, the father of the subprime card business. Yeah. It was one of the first chief risk officers prior to that even being a role.

So they were instrumental in building that business in the 90s and both left in the mid-2000s

to go on to do more interesting things around effectively creating the category of fintech.

Yeah.
