What happens when a teacher’s heart meets a fintech visionary mindset? You get Jennifer Lau-Hatcher.

In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Jennifer on her journey from education to launching 1 & Fund, a fintech company solving financing challenges in the home improvement sector. Jennifer shares how her time at Synchrony Financial shaped her approach to user-friendly training systems—like gamified learning modules built around mobile-first design. These early innovations laid the groundwork for the customer-centered, systems-driven company she would later co-found.

As Jennifer and her husband scaled 1 & Fund, they quickly realized the power of processes and implemented EOS from the very start—even when it was just a three-person team. The conversation dives deep into why standardized procedures are the foundation of any scalable business. Jennifer also explains the strategic reasons behind merging with One Click Contractor to consolidate tech stacks and streamline the estimating-to-payment experience.

Beyond the business, Jennifer opens up about her personal goals, including launching a podcast called The Conscious Creator Community and finally writing her long-awaited books. Whether you're in fintech, trades, or any growth-stage company, this episode offers invaluable lessons on combining systems thinking with mission-driven leadership.
