The mayor is a coward and a hater. First sitting mayor not to attend in 60 years since the march was founded in 1964.

@veer_ukrani @slashapp Can confirm! These guys are great

[mahaveer @veer_ukrani]

Today is the official launch of @slashapp for Startups, but we’ve actually already onboarded over 400 incredible VC-backed startups over the past 2.5 months.

The way we did this was actually pretty simple:

we focused on giving founders the best product, best unit economics, and best relationships/customer service possible.

That’s it.

A lot of fintechs try to win customers through temporary incentives, flashy perks, or things that honestly feel too good to be true.

And usually, if it feels too good to be true, it probably is.

At Slash, our philosophy is different. We believe the best way to build a long term company is to fundamentally improve the economics of running a business.

That means:

- best treasury rates because we don’t take management fees
- best cashback
- software that actually saves companies operational overhead
- and support that feels like an extension of your team

Not perks that disappear after 6 months.

Our fundamental belief is that we become more successful as a company if our customers become more successful.

So the question we constantly ask ourselves is:

“What is the most needle-moving thing this founder could be doing right now, and how can Slash help them do it faster?”

Sometimes that means helping them with banking.

A lot of times it has nothing to do with banking at all.

Silicon Valley and tech in general can be incredibly transactional. We built Slash at the complete antithesis of that.

We built a $1.4B company through relationships and by consistently doing right by people.

Some examples of things we’ve done for founders (many times before they were even customers):

- giving founders access to our office while they waited for an office lease
- helping founders with their marketing initiatives
- @victorcardenas hopping on fundraising calls and giving pitch feedback without expecting anything in return
- connecting founders to early hires through our engineering network
- helping with O-1 visa lawyers and immigration resources
- connecting startups with potential customers and investors
- hosting intimate founder dinners and events like our upcoming Slash x @modaflows Canadian Founder Dinner (rsvp below)

Banking is built on trust and relationships. That’s the moat.

Before leading startups, I led our operations, data, customer success, and hiring initiatives internally at Slash. My role leading startups is honestly pretty simple:

help founders in whatever way possible and continue doing that at scale.

If that means being a growth partner, operating partner, recruiting partner, fundraising resource, or just someone founders can call when things are going wrong — we’re ready to do it.

And while relationships matter, the product itself also has to be world class.

We’re building:

- accounting automations and integrations with @dualentry, @QuickBooks, @netsuite, and @Xero
- a truly delightful invoicing experience built by @gerryascenci0
- a robinhood-esque mobile business banking experience built by @HustleDoubles
- sophisticated bill pay workflows for both startups and enterprises built by @albTian
- and a banking stack so good that founders genuinely don’t have to think about finances anymore.

Our GTM strategy is going to continue being exactly this:

- best rewards.
- best product.
- best relationships/customer service.

We probably won’t promise perks that are too good to be true.

But what we can promise is:

- world class customer support on literally any channel
- the best long term economics for your business
- people who genuinely care about your company succeeding
- and a product experience built specifically for modern startups

So if you’re deciding your startup banking setup right now, let me tell you one thing:

make this the last time you ever have to think about switching banks again.

Once you use Slash, you won’t want to leave. DM me, @nicogutis, @Simar_Boparai_ , or @fainzaig to get set up!

@seanhenry Congrats Sean!

@rob_zedd This is the way! 🇺🇸🚀

[Mark Suster @msuster]

When a repulsive human makes an ad in defensive of Jewish contribution thinking it’s a criticism.

Jews contribute significantly despite being < 0.2% of world population. Now if you do science & medicine it’s equally impressive

@camdoody @BrickyardVC @electrokare $1T seems more in range, 🚀

[Cam @camdoody]

Said goodbye to one of the @BrickyardVC greats tonight. NYC bound, $100B company loading...

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

4% of Massie’s funding came from within Kentucky.

The most came from California.

Weird.

[Mitchell Leshchiner @MLeshchiner]

@FarroYossi @Mottel @danpovitsky Love this.

[SheThinksFreely @L08818]

No one spent $30 million against Massie 🙄

Israel didn’t “buy an election” 🙄

Anyone regurgitating this stupidity should be humiliated & mocked.

MAGA 🇺🇸

[High Priest Gabagool 📟 @Hpgabagool]

Hating Israel for absolutely no fucking reason is America last. It’s literally what America’s enemies want.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

If you believe everyone who disagrees with you is a paid Israeli operative, you are an antisemite.

Sorry to break it to you.

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

Cenk can’t accept that candidates lose elections. When things don’t go his way, it must be the Jews.

[Josh Wolfe @wolfejosh]

you are what you are taught

you are who you surround yourselves with

you are pure toxic intolerant indoctrinated Jew hate

i am sure these UK lads will have a productive life contributing to solve people's problems and creating great wealth, advancing society with progress!

[Joel Fischer 🇺🇸 @realJoelFischer]

Thomas Massie raised over 2.4 million dollars more than Ed. Stop telling me that @AIPAC bought seats.

[Dan Bongino @dbongino]

Turns out that Jimmy, Dave, Igor, Ryan, and an assortment of Jew hating life-losers, disgruntled libs, sexual deviants, leg-humpers, drunks and failed comedians really aren’t a great coalition for winning a conservative primary election IRL. Shocker.

We didn’t ask for this ideological war, they did. And we finished it. Matter of fact, we didn’t even invite them to this party.
They invited themselves. And then they shit in the punch bowl and now they’re playing dumb as to why we threw their asses out.

Take your 1940s era agitprop bullshit and shove it up your ass. Or go back where you came from with your “river to the sea” terrorist friends. Those radical libs will welcome you back with open arms. Agitprop is their thing. It’s their ONLY thing.

Thanks. Have a great rest of your day! And a big thanks to the real conservatives who saw through this bullshit.
