About Nico Simko
Nico Simko is the CEO and Co-Founder of Clair, a New York-based fintech company that is breaking the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle by offering fee-free on-demand pay to America's workers.
Prior to co-founding Clair, Simko led the M&A due diligence process for J.P. Morgan’s payments division. There, he gained insight and expertise into the lesser-known financial pain points that many Americans face — including high-interest payday loans — which eventually led to the conception of Clair.
Since its founding in 2019, Clair has become accessible to millions of hourly workers across America. The company closed a $15M Series A earlier this year that it plans to use to continue fine-tuning its on-demand pay product, as well as expand its suite of financial tools for America’s workforce.
Originally from Switzerland and Argentina, Nico holds a B.A in Economics from Harvard University.
