Top SchoolGeorge Goognin is a fintech founder and operator who has spent nearly two decades automating banks, building fintech communities, and launching 30+ startups—three profitable and one exit—now scaling Evita, a FinCEN-registered B2B multi-currency clearing platform enabling near-instant third-party payouts across 20+ fiat rails. He blends deep technical roots (PhD-level financial mathematics and early QA/engineering roles) with hands-on capital and compliance experience—having raised $11M, structured $250M in SMB loans, and served as a chief compliance officer reporting to central banks. George is also a community builder and advisor, having created fintech networks of 10,000+ members, consulted governments on digital-asset regulation, and taught web3 legal topics to millions. He shares 50% of Evita’s profits with channel partners, a model that delivered $700k to the top partner in 12 months, illustrating a rare focus on aligned growth and distribution economics. Ambitiously, his long-term work through Prosperity University targets making basic resources dramatically more affordable via automation and venture-backed infrastructure.
