Charlie Youakim is the co-founder and CEO of Sezzle (SEZL), a buy-now-pay-later company now valued at over $3 billion. He previously co-founded Passport, a mobile payments business for parking, and built Sezzle into one of the largest BNPL providers in the U.S. despite raising roughly $120 million in total, a fraction of the capital raised by competitors like Klarna and Afterpay. Sezzle first listed on the ASX in July 2019 and direct-listed on the Nasdaq in August 2023; its market cap bottomed at roughly $35 million during that stretch and has grown to over $3 billion in under three years, roughly an 85x return.

MicroCapClub Member "Adil" profiled Sezzle (SEZL) on MicroCapClub on December 17, 2023, at $2.41 per share. As of the date of this post, the stock is up 3900% in 2.5 years!
