news, in March, U.S. consumer credit growth slowed significantly, according to 69 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,840 the Federal Reserve. 70 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:47,760 The total consumer credit increased by just over $6 billion, a stark drop from the previous 71 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,840 month's $15 billion gain, and well below economists' predictions. 72 00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:01,080 This deceleration was marked by a modest 1.5% annual rate increase, a decrease from February's 73 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,120 3.6% rate. 74 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:10,240 Notably, credit card

include student and auto loans, grew by 2%. 77 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,720 This slowdown in consumer borrowing has prompted concerns about the overall health of consumer 78 00:06:25,720 -->

Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Thrive Capital, with participation 83 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,180 from several prominent investors. 84 00:06:56,180 --> 00:07:01,960 This investment will support Wiz
