Provide, a national fintech company focused on financially empowering healthcare providers to achieve private practice ownership through a streamlined, completely online finance experience built on partnership, was named a 2022 Columbus Business First BizTech Inno Fire Award honoree.

The annual awards program recognizes innovation in technology in the Columbus area. Honorees are selected based on new funding, added headcount, community impact, product launches, company pivots, and/or amazing stories of innovators reshaping the ecosystem.

“Since our acquisition by Fifth Third Bank in August 2021, we’ve more than doubled the size of the company, while maintaining the people-first culture that has enabled us to consistently attract top talent over the years,” said Provide Chief Business Officer Andrew Bennett. “This award is a testament to our team’s commitment to delivering on our mission and vision, living our values, and continuing to push the boundaries of our industry.”

Thus far in 2022, Provide increased headcount by over 30%, grew loan origination volume by over 70%, launched two new products, and expanded into new markets. In addition, the team successfully expanded their private practice marketplace to over 2,700 listings and launched the company’s podcast, The Path to Owning It.
