Why it works

The story earns credibility by grounding the headline number in a concrete user-level figure ($500 per user per year), making the aggregate feel real rather than inflated. The founder's personal origin story adds emotional weight without being sentimental. This is a coin-flip between Efficiency and New Capability: Plaid let Brigit avoid months of engineering work (Efficiency), but the product itself could not have launched at all without bank connectivity (New Capability). The framing leads with savings, so Efficiency wins the primary tag.

Steal this

Stack a population-level metric ($100M saved) alongside a per-user metric ($500/year) so readers can feel both the societal scale and the individual impact at the same time.
