Silverton Partners

We found one bank that was a tiny bank based in Austin.

And it turns out that we also raised venture capital from an Austin-based investor, Silverton Partners.

And so we had raised venture capital in Austin.

We found a bank that's actually in Austin that was going to work with us.

All right, let's talk about a startup that is going after a problem that I think pretty much every single person listening to this show has experienced personally.

Chariot, formerly Chariot Claims, is a New York-based startup that just closed $10 million in Series A funding, led by Silverton Partners.

So what does Chariot do? In short, they help consumers fight back.

Fight back against hidden fees, against privacy violations, and against those nightmare subscription services that seem specifically designed to make cancellation as painful as humanly possible.

Or you find some bizarre fee buried in your bill that was never disclosed up front.

Chariot is building the tools to pursue claims against that kind of behavior.

$10 million in a Series A led by Silverton Partners is meaningful.

Silverton is an Austin-based firm that has a strong track record backing companies with real consumer utility, so this fits their playbook well.

Uh, and then that led me on a, on my path to go to Bizarre Voice.

And, um, And so anyway, and then kind of a few years later, you know, at B-Side at the time, Bill Wood was a major investor from Silverton Partners.

Also in the Austin Tech Hall of Fame.

Exactly.
