Introduction

Over his career, Underwood has worn a variety of hats: he’s been a banker, a fintech executive, and now, an investor. In all these roles, Underwood has hired Cornerstone Advisors — not only to provide more intel for the bank, but for engagements for other companies he’s co-founded like Apiture (digital banking system), Finxact (core banking), and most recently, Canapi Ventures, a private equity firm that invests in software companies that aim to help banks operate more efficiently.
