Where

Presented by

Jassby, headquartered in Waltham, MA, is a Fintech company founded in 2018 with the vision to bring financial services to kids and teens and their families to promote financial literacy. 

Jassby offers families a service through which kids can receive money from their parents and grandparents, and can then save, donate, or shop, all on a safe, controlled, and fully digital state-of-the-art platform. Using the app promotes and teaches financial literacy, which is a crucial life-skill that kids aren’t learning about in school. Jassby can help reduce the common arguments around spending, chores, allowances, and money, along with connecting multiple generations of the family.

About the Event

Panelists, made up of a combination of mayors, policy makers, academia and industry leaders, will discuss the future of work and the likely impact of automation, innovation, and other trends on cities across the United States.
