About VEEP VEEP is an early-stage startup with a disruptive and highly scalable business model in the rapidly growing and high-potential world of Same Day Pay payroll. VEEP offers an HR retention and advanced pay solution for the underserved. We provide a replacement to short-term lending arrangements that prey on the needs of low-income individuals with a simple, inexpensive, real-time, cloud-native solution that provides financial support and freedom from predatory lending. Traditionally, hourly workers rely on routine pay cycles and slow wage payments which often forces them to rely on predatory short-term lending. VEEP utilizes innovative technologies to change these legacy payroll processes allowing our clients (i.e., Employers) to grant access to their employees’ earned wages before payday.This is a pre-scale opportunity to join a growing, private equity backed FinTech with a platform that is disrupting a $50 billion growing market. The product is fully developed and was launched through our first channel partner in 2020, a fast-growing Human Capital Management (HCM) company who has accepted the product and is actively marketing. We have a tremendous “perfect storm” opportunity to leverage the strength of our model as it enables new types of online financial services, rather than merely extending existing ones as well as its ability to leverage Black Dragon Capital’s extensive resources, distribution network, and expertise.
