Rainforest: The White-Glove Payments Provider
Atlanta-based Rainforest has been making waves in the fintech industry with its unique approach to payments. Founded by entrepreneur [Silver’s Name], Rainforest offers a "white-glove customer experience" that sets it apart from other payment providers.
The Gap in the Market
Accel Partner Amit Kumar was drawn to Rainforest because of Silver’s authentic founding story and his understanding of the gap in the market. According to Kumar, building for this specific segment of customers from the ground up allows Rainforest to offer a unique blend of functionality and flexibility that is hard to compete with.

Kumar notes that Rainforest is growing rapidly through word of mouth. "We’re seeing the value pay off already," he said. "Rainforest is growing rapidly mostly through word of mouth."
