The Center for Business Analytics in the Milgard School of Business,  in partnership with Sound Credit Union, announced Gaganjeet Singh and  Arshdeep Mann as the winners of the

2022 FinTech Incubator Challenge.  Singh and Mann are the founders of Incogify LLC, a company whose mission  is to simplify insurance shopping using a cloud-based app.

Sound and UW Tacoma launched the financial technology competition in  2021 to identify innovators interested in creating financial tools to  help consumers build confidence in their

financial decision-making.

The Incogify app is designed to protect consumers’ personal  information, providing a truly anonymous insurance shopping process. “No  one likes to spend hours shopping for

insurance every few months or  years, and no one likes spam,” said Arshdeep Mann, who is a junior at UW  Tacoma getting a degree in computer science and systems.

Finalists in the competition presented their concepts to a panel of  judges. The panel was made up of representatives from Sound’s executive  management team, UW Tacoma

leaders, and local community partners Quincy  Henry (of Campfire Coffee), Dennis Joyce (of Tacoma Venture Fund) and  Gilad Berenstein (of Brook Bay Capital).

“The feedback and confidence in our product were very motivating,”  said Gaganjeet Singh, who is pursuing a double degree in business  administration and informatics on the UW’s

Seattle campus. “Being able  to participate in this challenge has really helped us with our vision  for Incogify. We want to express our gratitude to Sound, UW Tacoma and  their

partners as this was an amazing experience for us.”

Winners of the competition this year received $10,000 in total cash  prizes, supported by Sound, and a renewable 6-month membership with UW’s  CoMotion Labs. “Incogify will

greatly benefit from the financial  support of Sound and from the start-up resources in CoMotion Labs,” said  Michael Helser, assistant director of the Center for Business  Analytics. 

“We’re pleased to partner with Sound to discover and enable  the next generation of fintech entrepreneurs in our region.”
