The Trust Podcast Episode 3: Ed Schembor

In this episode of The Trust Podcast, Greenboard Cofounders Dave Feldman (CEO) and Ed Schembor (CTO) go deep on why they built Greenboard and how they're rethinking the future of financial compliance software.

Both discuss their backgrounds before Greenboard and what led them to the space. They trace their early frustrations with the fragmented landscape of legacy tools and how a lack of innovation, driven by cashflow-first incumbents, opened the door for a better product to exist. Dave and Ed explain why the opportunity wasn’t just technical but human: compliance teams deserved more than clunky point solutions and repetitive, soul-crushing workflows. They deserved tools built with empathy, UX, and modern AI in mind.

They also discuss their all-in-one approach to product strategy, the cultural difference between startups and roll-ups, and why the best engineers want to work on hard problems with purpose. Finally, they look ahead to the role AI will play in the future and Dave’s vision that it will not replace compliance teams, but to give them more control, more time, and more impact.
