Meet the minds behind the mission.

A strong mission takes a strong team.

Founded for families. By families.

Tim Sheehan and Johnson Cook started Greenlight because they noticed a problem: Parents had no real way to teach their kids about money. So they built one. That instinct of finding solutions for family life is what's taken Greenlight from a debit card for kids to a family tech system simplifying money, safety, and organization — keeping families in sync.
