I couldn’t be more excited to announce that American Express and Knot have teamed up to simplify updating payment methods at select merchants! Powered by Knot’s CardSwitcher product, this product allows eligible Amex customers to easily update their payment info at top merchants like Bloomingdale's, Hilton, and Macy's. A huge thank you to the Amex Ventures and Amex Digital Labs teams for their support and collaboration in bringing this to life. We’re eager to see the positive impact and look forward to continuing our partnership to enhance the Amex customer experience! Read the full press release below!

On average, multi-brand retailers fail to sell 30% of their inventory, resulting in a financial loss with a material impact to the business. Today, no effective solution exists; liquidation solutions generate pennies on the dollar and existing software solutions all cater to large brands. Max Retail is solving the issue of excess inventory for SMB, multi-brand retailers with a platform that enables these businesses to efficiently sell excess inventory directly to end-consumers via its innovative zero-inventory technology platform. We're extremely excited to be investors in Max Retail and to work with their team, led by Melodie van der Baan, as they help multi-brand retailers maximize sales. Learn more about the work Max Retail is doing in our blog post detailing the company and our investment: https://ipl.vc/bmr

Hadley Founder & CEO | 529 Enthusiast | SEC-Registered Investment Advisor | Presidential Leadership Scholar
It takes a village to save for school, and it takes a village to run Hadley. Last week our team came together in LA for our off-site, and we are excited to share we've onboarded our first enterprise client who now makes it easy (and fun) for their employees to save in 529 accounts. How this works: ✅ Hadley enables employers to provide 529 benefits for employees, who use our app to connect with family and friends to save together ✅ Hadley handles 529 payroll deductions, employer matches, and one-time employer contributions (employee recognitions, new baby celebrations, etc.) ✅ Most benefits & payroll platforms lack access to 529s and 529 ABLEs, and we are talking with a few large enterprise benefits platforms to fix this ✅ Come check us out: www.gohadley.com/employers If you're interested in having 529 benefits at your company or know a company that would, please let me know. Special shout-outs to Hadley's team Amanda Powers, Molly Schmidt, Tim Katlic, and David Renz and thank you to Michael Ye for your continued support. In the meantime, you (yes you!) will always be able to download the Hadley app and connect among family and friends. Please feel free to add me as a friend: www.gohadley.com/#download We go furthest when we go -- and save -- together.
