“We believe in Shur’s mission,” said CoPeace founder and CEO, Craig Jonas, “They are doing impactful work. One of our primary goals is to be of service to companies that care about the world, socially and environmentally. We want to help fill any organizational gaps they might have.

Shur is building market-based insurtech/fintech products to promote economic freedom for America’s next generation – 18 to 30 years old. The company is using an ecosystem approach, building solutions for borrowers in collaboration with cities, corporations, colleges, college access organizations, data and insight providers, and impact investors.

“Shur is committed to guiding companies and their leaders as we all focus on helping millions of student loan borrowers return to repayment this fall and through the crucial lifetime journey from debt to wealth creation,” said Kahlil Byrd (KB), Founder and CEO of Shur. He added, “CoPeace is best in class in aiding mission-driven enterprises like ours as we ask the most sophisticated investors and brands to join this vision and mission to work this challenge at the highest scale.”
