Ethan Fraenkel is the co-founder and CEO of Prograd, a fast-growing UK fintech platform empowering Gen Z to earn side income and improve their financial future. Born in Antwerp, Belgium, Ethan moved to Tel Aviv at the age of 18, where he was first immersed in the world of tech and startups. At 20, he relocated to London, where he studied Law and Politics at Queen Mary University of London, before going on to complete a Master’s in Computer Science at University College London (UCL). This unique blend of legal, political, and technical expertise laid the foundation for his entrepreneurial journey. He spent three years at Cutover, a London and New York-based tech startup, where he gained hands-on experience being a software and cloud engineer in a high-growth environment. Ethan later co-founded Prograd to solve a problem he witnessed firsthand: helping young people earn more, gain financial independence, and build a stronger financial foundation. Today, Prograd serves over 1 millions users, driven by Ethan’s mission to close the opportunity gap for the next generation.
