We helped another YC company send out their investor update by July 1
They’d paid bookkeepers to use Quickbooks for them for two years
Support wasn’t great - they’d get their financials weeks late unless they repeatedly chased the bookkeepers down
Sometimes, they’d manually scrub through Brex transactions themselves
We helped them migrate *everything* from Quickbooks to Finta in under three hours so they could send out their investor update on time
And it was completely free with zero-risk, we want to make sure potential customers feel extremely confident on the switch before we ask of anything
Hearing feedback like this makes every painful problem we face while building Finta worth it 💪
Excited to announce our partnership with @slashapp!
Your Slash data now integrates directly into Finta, keeping your books clean and accurate year-round
To celebrate, Slash customers get 1 year of taxes filed for free with Finta
Find it on the Slash perks page

Finta takes on LA 🌴
Last week, we brought the whole team together for our annual offsite
A great way to celebrate the hardest-working team in startup finance
P.S. We're hiring!
Last week, 5 new interns across engineering, growth, and design kicked off their summer at @finta. What better way to welcome them than a bike tour around SF with our founder @andywang ☀️
Fall co-op postings are live on the Waterloo job board. Go check them out!
Turning down YC to find the right idea.
Not because they didn't want it. But because they weren’t willing to waste the opportunity.
Here's the untold story of how @BansalDhruva and Hemang are building FlowGen Labs to create the first generation of zero-touch enterprises:
🔹 Meeting in 4th grade in Mumbai, losing touch, and reuniting as Georgia Tech roommates years later
🔹 Hemang working on post-training at Meta, Dhruva as a Founding ML Engineer at Refuel AI, until an acquisition forced a decision
🔹 Choosing their idea by scoring each one like engineers would
🔹 Getting offers from both YC and SPC, and turning them both down
🔹 Betting on one of the most entrenched markets in enterprise software: legacy ERPs like SAP
🔹 Losing a major proof-of-concept deal and what got them back up
🔹 Closing a seed round within two weeks of demo day

i just had one of those “this is how software should feel” moments…
building my startup, i’ve tried a lot of tools. most are fine. some are painful. but every once in a while you run into something that’s just… smooth. like everything clicks, nothing fights you, and you actually enjoy the process.
i’ve had that feeling with @mercury. same with @finta. and recently, with @mintlify.
and it got me thinking — shouldn’t that be the bar?
like seriously, why isn’t “this feels amazing to use” the default goal for every product?
for me, that experience came while building my docs with mintlify. everything from setup to writing to publishing just felt frictionless. no weird configs, no fighting the tool, just flow.
anyway, that experience helped me ship something i’m really excited about:
@PandaProbe docs are now live 🐼

if you’re building anything dev-facing, highly recommend giving mintlify a shot. this is what great product feels like.
Finta's API is now available for every customer under any plan.
Here are 6 specific ways I'm already using it to solve my own problems as a founder! 🧵 1/n
Now I understand why @CapitalOne decided to acquire @brexHQ
For early-stage VC-backed startups banking and credit cards, the standard tech stack is:
1️⃣ Banking and cards all on Brex
OR
2️⃣ Banking with Mercury and cards with Ramp
Now everyone is competing for everywhere money is stored or moves
@mercury launched their credit cards around 2023
Then @tryramp launched their checking and treasury accounts around 2025
And we have various new fintechs are entering the space
🤔 Will be really interesting to see how this changes going forward
Let me know if you want to see data on another part of the tech stack!
paying corporate taxes for the first time in the us is scary af as a foreigner but with @finta and @andywang we did it in 30 minutes. if you are a founder and have no idea how to pay us taxes just go to https://t.co/ARZkdbOlBR
