Consumer Insights Focus Group Handouts
Our founding partner LendUp conducted consumer insight focus groups across several U.S. cities with the goals of understanding the challenges that consumers face as a result of income and expense volatility, exploring how consumers cope / make ends meet, and seeking new ways to address the challenge. The data gathered from these focus groups informed our Finance Forward event series.
