About Starlight

Our Mission & Beliefs

Starlight’s mission is to advance financial health for underserved communities, starting with streamlining access to government benefits.

Our company is founded on three core beliefs:

1. Need: Inequality and income volatility is increasing, resulting in more households needing to access public benefits for financial support.
2. Tools: Technology can drastically improve existing challenges with accessing government benefits, and enable a new model of benefits delivery that is proactive, personalized, and simplified.
3. Value creation: When more households receive financial support from government benefits, the resulting economic value is significant — and we can capture a portion of that.

The system is complex, outdated, and leaves those who need help the most with little guidance. While tech innovations transform industries like finance and e-commerce, the safety net remains inaccessible and inefficient. At Starlight, we’re here to change that.

How We’re Building Solutions

Starlight is building technology that helps underserved communities access the financial help they need—at the right time and through the right channels.

Our B2B platform works with financial institutions to:

• Identify members eligible for government benefits proactively, using data.
• Guide individuals through the application process, removing friction and complexity.
• Deliver personalized guidance and timely support through trusted channels, like credit unions partners.

By meeting people where they are and integrating into their existing financial ecosystems, we make it easier for underserved communities to access critical support, when and where they need it most.
