Trackstar AI featured in Center For Advancing Financial Equity Spring 2025 Cohort
Delaware is having its fintech moment.
Since the Center for Advancing Financial Equity — better known as CAFE — launched in 2023 at the then-new Fintech Innovation Hub at the University of Delaware’s STAR Campus, it has quietly been building a name for itself.
It’s also been building a fintech brand for Delaware, something that has long seemed elusive despite the state being a major financial center since the 1980s. Even with prominent fintech companies like Delaware-based Best Egg, FairSquare and a PayPal presence, there was a certain kind of buzz that didn’t seem to resonate beyond state lines.
That may be changing.
For its current spring cohort, CAFE held a three-day event from April 8 to 10 that drew fintech insiders, leaders and investors from all over the country to Delaware, including the Fintech Innovation Hub, sponsor Best Egg’s North Wilmington headquarters, and, finally, the DuPont Country Club for an invite-only pitch and networking event that included the fintech portion of the Delaware Prosperity Partnership’s Startup302 competition.
“I have really found a tremendous welcoming here in Delaware, so much so that I’ve adopted the Blue Hens as my own,” said Phil Goldfeder, president of the American Fintech Council, one of the many big names in fintech who came for the event.
Speakers included Wilmington Mayor (and former Delaware Governor) John Carney; Ben du Pont, cofounder of Chartline Capital Partners and Zip Code Wilmington; Rob Habgood, CEO of Wilmington-based FairSquare/Ally Card; and CAFE founder Kristen Castell.
Why the Adoption Rate for Explainable AI in Financial Services Is Expected to Grow The AI Trust Factor
“There are a handful of reasons why a financial services company would want its AI to be explainable and the primary reason is trust,” added Clint Lotz, TrackStar.ai president and founder. “We need to be able to explain our AI to our clients, because they are lending consumers money based upon our data. We don’t want to cause more risk to our client, being that it is already a sensitive transaction, so being able to clearly explain what the AI is doing is vital to our success.

The Science of Lending Leads: Mining Alternative Data in a New Mortgage Marketing Universe
Though most lenders employ automated software that can process lending applications in mere seconds, the reality is that only a fraction of those applications (on average about 30 percent) of those applicants are viable.
AI Adds Fuel To New Credit Scoring Data
Part of the problem can be found in traditional credit scoring models — most obviously FICO — which rely on past payment history and other factors that don’t necessarily serve as accurate predictors of future performance. New technology, new software and most importantly new data are knocking on the door of redefining the criteria for valuable customer acquisition. It could be said that to fix the credit industry, the credit industry needs to fix the data.

18.9 Million Homeowners Haven’t Cashed In On The Refinance Boom. Are You One Of Them?
In the U.S., residents of just 12 states have an average FICO score of 720 or higher, leaving many people in the other 38 states below the minimum amount to qualify for a low rate. And no state has an average of 740 or higher, according to data from Experian. This means, in most states, a homeowner with the average FICO score could not take advantage of the lowest refinance rates
