Bryan Uribe
Founder and CEO of Yofii, LLC
Bryan Uribe knows all about hard work. As the Founder and CEO of Yofii, LLC he’s looking to help people take back control of their financial health, empowering them to determine their own destiny when it comes to freedom from debt. Part of his drive to empower people comes from growing up in a working-class community in NYC. He’s seen the struggles and challenges that people within his community experience every day and in a multitude of ways, he’s trying to lessen those struggles to minimize those challenges. One of those ways was to help people gain control of their spiraling debt, which most feel they’ll never be free of – but Bryan’s hoping to change that. Yofii is the technology that analyzes the user’s various debts and applies an algorithm to identify financial strategies and determine the best path to their personal financial freedom. Uribe explains, “We are building Yofii because we believe software can help people improve their financial situations, get out of debt, stay out of debt, and ultimately achieve their financial goals.”
As a first generation Dominican-American, Uribe worked hard to work smart; for many first-generation children, a challenge they often face is a lack the guidance and mentorship to achieve targeted success. ‘My philanthropy focuses on helping these people find guidance and support in people who have gone through the same challenges,” he explains. Bryan earned an MBA from Iona College and often returns for “e-Talks” to mentor students enrolled in the college’s Hynes Entrepreneurship & Innovation Institute (the “e” stands for Entrepreneur); Uribe is reaching back to bring others forward. After graduating, he began his career in sales and continued to venture into Real Estate. Additionally, he runs his own business consulting firm and acts as a partner in a property and casualty insurance brokerage – all of this culminating to his own financial freedom which allowed him to finance Yofii with his own money. Yofii believes that financial freedom is a human right and that technology can make this a reality of everyone.
