About

Fizz is a San Francisco-based student financial platform — backed by Y Combinator with $14.4 million raised in a Series Seed round in June 2024 from Kleiner Perkins, SV Angel, YC, and founders of eight unicorn companies — providing college students at 300+ US universities with a debit card that builds credit history automatically (reporting to credit bureaus based on spending patterns without requiring debt), a free credit score monitoring dashboard, personalized spending insights, financial education courses, and budgeting tools designed to help young adults build credit and develop financial literacy without the risk of credit card debt. Founded by Carlo Kobe and Scott Smith (Harvard and Cornell dropouts who identified the gap in student financial products), Fizz has evolved from a credit-building debit card to a comprehensive student money app (updated October 2024).

About

Altria Group, Inc. is a Richmond, Virginia-based tobacco and nicotine company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: MO) as an S&P 500 Consumer Staples component — manufacturing and selling cigarettes (Marlboro — the best-selling cigarette brand in the United States), smokeless tobacco (Copenhagen, Skoal, Red Seal, Husky chewing tobacco/moist snuff brands), oral nicotine pouches (on! brand), and maintaining a 10.7% ownership stake in Anheuser-Busch InBev (SABMiller acquisition consideration shares) and a 35% stake in JUUL Labs (vaping — original $12.8B investment written down to minimal value following JUUL's regulatory and litigation difficulties) through approximately 5,500 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Altria reported revenues of approximately $20.6 billion (net revenues after excise taxes approximately $9.7 billion), with the cigarette segment (Marlboro generating 40%+ US cigarette market share) contributing the majority of operating income at 50%+ adjusted operating margins — the highest margins in the consumer staples sector reflecting cigarettes' inelastic demand and regulated market structure. CEO Billy Gifford has pivoted Altria's strategy from cigarettes toward smoke-free nicotine products: the on! oral nicotine pouch (acquired full ownership of Helix Innovations in 2023, rebranding as on! to compete with Swedish Match Zyn, the dominant US oral nicotine pouch brand) represents Altria's primary nicotine product diversification vehicle as cigarette volume declines 7-8% annually through consumer quit rates and secular health awareness trends.
