You're Sitting on a Revenue Stream You Don't See!
Your competition just announced embedded payments, and it's eating your lunch!
$2M-10M+ left on the table annually
We assess if you're actually ready for embedded finance—infrastructure, compliance, market fit, all of it. No vendor sales pitch. Just the truth about whether this will print money or blow up in your face. And if you're ready? we'll show you how to execute.
Ready to Unlock Your Embedded Finance Opportunity?
The platforms that act fast don't just unlock new revenue—they improve retention and win more deals. The ones that delay? They watch competitors capture the value they should be getting.

Does this sound familiar?
❌ Your Competitor Moved First
Your competitor just announced embedded payments and is capturing value you're missing. Your board keeps asking "why aren't we monetizing payments?" and you have no answer.
You know there's money on the table, but you have no idea if your infrastructure can handle it—or if you'll end up in compliance hell trying to figure it out.
Every BaaS platform claims they're "the easiest to integrate." But you need the truth: which one actually fits your use case? And what will it cost to unwind if you choose wrong?
❌ No Idea If You're Ready
❌ Vendor Sales Pitches Everywhere

Three proven pathways to unlock millions in new revenue—payments, lending, or banking
Led by Dr. Shallon Brown
I'm the CTO who tells you if embedded finance will actually make you money—or just create expensive problems.
I've led 27 embedded finance launches from assessment to production, across vertical SaaS, marketplaces, and fintech platforms. Unlike platform vendors who want to sell you their solution, I evaluate Unit, Stripe, Lithic, and Marqeta based on what actually fits your use case—because the wrong choice costs $500K to unwind.
My track record: $4.2M average revenue opportunity identified per engagement, 2-5x revenue growth for clients who launch, and 100% success rate on compliance (SOC 2, PCI-DSS, banking partnerships). I've worked with everyone from Series B SaaS companies to public enterprises, navigating the technical, regulatory, and go-to-market challenges that make or break embedded finance initiatives.
You need someone who's been in the trenches, not just read the white papers. That's what I bring.
