Founder & CEO, Seal Financial Technologies, LLC
Nicola Zappitelli founded Seal in 2026 with a straightforward thesis: the financial products of the last decade made spending frictionless and saving an afterthought. Seal is the correction — a commitment-based savings app that locks your money until you're ready, with a social accountability layer built in. Based in Cleveland, Ohio.
