Reed Switzer is an entrepreneur and product leader in the financial technology space. He currently leads Hopscotch, a B2B payments company, as CEO and was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Finance list in ‘23. Outside of his professional life, Switzer serves on the board of Trustees at the Windward School, the leading school for children with dyslexia and language-based learning disabilities (he is also a proud alum).

Born and raised in New York, Reed got his start bussing tables at a local diner. In his early professional career, he developed a passion for apparel and launched his own brand in partnership with a couple of friends. He later served as Operations Lead for a music streaming startup led by the former CFO of Combs Enterprises. There, he fine-tuned his design, marketing, and operational skills.

In 2021, studying finance and technology at Wharton, Reed decided to drop out of school to pursue his entrepreneurial spirit. He founded and currently leads Hopscotch, a venture-backed FinTech startup. The innovative company empowers small businesses to manage invoicing & bill payments in one place, pay and get paid in real-time with zero fees, and unlock funds tied up in outstanding invoices with Hopscotch Flow. Think Venmo, for business, on steroids.

Hopscotch is backed by Stellation Capital, Shine Capital, NOEMIS Ventures, 3KVC, Valar Ventures, NfX, Valor Equity Partners, Red & Blue Ventures, The MBA Fund, Switch Ventures, and Brightlane Ventures.
