AI Travel Platform Secures Major Financial Partnership Just One Week After Captivating DMV Investors, Gaining Access to $100K AWS Credits and Nationwide Banking Ecosystem

Washington D.C. – July 19, 2025 – Nowy, the innovative AI-powered travel platform transforming social media inspiration into bookable travel experiences, announced today its acceptance into J.P. Morgan's prestigious Startup Banking Program. This strategic partnership was secured just one week after the company's standout performance at the Accelerate Breakfast Series 2025, where J.P. Morgan representatives witnessed Nowy's compelling market demonstration firsthand.

From Showcase to Strategic Partnership in Seven Days

The rapid progression from event showcase to major financial partnership underscores the strong market validation Nowy has achieved in the competitive travel technology sector. J.P. Morgan's sponsorship of the Accelerate Breakfast Series provided direct exposure to Nowy's revolutionary approach to solving travel planning's $50 billion conversion gap.

"I initially thought my only connection to J.P. Morgan was being a Chase credit card holder," said Branda Fan, CEO and Co-founder of Nowy. "But this partnership demonstrates how genuine engagement and authentic vision-sharing can unlock unexpected ecosystem opportunities. This isn't just about banking – it's about accessing a comprehensive startup support network."

Comprehensive Startup Ecosystem Benefits

The J.P. Morgan Startup Banking Program provides Nowy with substantial resources to accelerate growth:

• Up to $100,000 in AWS cloud credits to support Nowy's multi-agent AI infrastructure

• Nationwide access to J.P. Morgan-sponsored startup events and networking opportunities

• Complimentary cap table management and full banking platform designed specifically for startups

• Direct ecosystem connections to investors, strategic partners, and fellow startups within J.P. Morgan's extensive network

Scaling AI Infrastructure for Global Growth

The AWS credits component is particularly strategic for Nowy's technology roadmap. With over 100,000 trips already created through the platform and a 4.9-star user rating, the company requires robust cloud infrastructure to support its sophisticated AI models that analyze social media content and generate personalized travel itineraries.

"The AWS credits will be transformational for our multi-AI infrastructure," Fan explained. "As we scale our ability to process travel content from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube into instant bookable trips, having enterprise-grade cloud resources removes a significant growth constraint."

Building on Recent Momentum

This J.P. Morgan partnership continues Nowy's impressive trajectory of strategic relationships and industry recognition:

• Google Cloud Partnership: $25,000 in cloud credits with expansion potential to $350,000

• TEDCO Grant: $10,000 from Maryland Technology Development Corporation

• Moxie Awards: 2025 finalist for "Boldness in Business"

• Travel Technology Association: Featured as innovative advocate member

Ecosystem-Driven Growth Strategy

The rapid sequence from investor showcase to major financial partnership exemplifies Nowy's ecosystem-driven approach to business development. By authentically engaging with industry stakeholders and demonstrating real market traction, the company continues to unlock opportunities that accelerate both technological development and market expansion.

"Sometimes the best unexpected opportunities come from just showing up and engaging with genuine questions," Fan noted. "From travel inspiration to instant booked trips, we're building one relationship at a time."
