2014 Greenlight was founded in 2014 by CEO Tim Sheehan and President and COO Johnson Cook. Sheehan and Cook both founded companies before Greenlight. Sheehan founded Reachable, a social media marketing platform, and Cook founded Atlanta Tech Village, a tech startup hub.

Tim Sheehan Founders Tim Sheehan and Johnson Cook imagined Greenlight when they noticed a problem: Parents didn't have a way to teach their kids about money. The solution? An all-in-one family finance app to help parents raise financially-smart kids.

The Atlanta-based Greenlight is now working with over 6 million customers and has raised about $550 million in total venture-backed capital since its inception, Sheehan said. The most recent investment included a $260 million Series D round in 2021 that valued the company at $2.3 billion.

Greenlight makes its money off that monthly subscription as well as interchange fees that it makes from all transactions made with a card. But there are no additional ATM or transaction fees for users.
