Sezzle is an alternative payment platform that helps merchants increase online sales by enabling their customers to pay for their orders with interest-free installment plans. Consumers pay over time, but our merchant partners are paid upfront, eliminating risk of fraud or non-payment. When you pay with Sezzle, your purchase is split into four equal, interest-free installments automatically scheduled over the next six weeks. It's a financially responsible way to pay over time and build credit. Because 67% of consumers under the age of 30 have sub- or non-prime credit scores, we use a proprietary algorithm over traditional credit checks to determine credit worthiness, enabling more consumers to get approved.

eVisit is a web application that connects primary care providers with their patients by webcam or phone for the remote diagnosis and treatment of most minor medical conditions (i.e., cold, flu, allergies, etc). eVisit is changing the healthcare delivery model and disrupting the $135 billion dollar primary care market by allowing physicians to recapture patient visits from the Urgent Care and Emergency Room. Physicians reclaim lost revenue from missed appointments, and patients receive high-quality care from work, home or on the road from the doctor that know them best, their doctor. The eVisit platform allows providers to collect patient co-pays, electronically prescribe prescriptions to the pharmacy of the patients' choice and submit medical charts for reimbursement to 3rd party payers. Unlike other telemedicine companies, eVisit circumvents many of the regulatory issues by maintaining the doctor-patient relationship and keeping patients in their PCMH (Patient Centered Medical Home).
