Finta

Magically simplify accounting and taxes

[Finta @finta]

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

@coffeewithone 💪 Keep building

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!

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

@Coding_Sage @mannupaaji Nice

@Andydy42 Taste recognizes taste

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

Fundraising is hard. You need momentum. First few checks really matter.

But who typically writes the first few checks? We ran some numbers...

This one took us a long time to compile, hope it helps!

How often these investors appear in first 5 checks:

1. @ycombinator
2. @Soma_Capital
3. @svangel
4. @pioneer_fund
5. @neo
6. @HustleFundVC
7. @pearvc
8. @AforeVC
9. @BoxGroup
10. @firstround

Let me know if you want to see same list for angel investors.

Finta website is so dope that it provides its logo on a single click 😁

[Andy @andywang]

Identify vendors, ask for W9s, and file Form 1099s.

Before the January 31 deadline. All in Finta.

[Andy @andywang]

It's the start of a new year, that means you'll have to file taxes soon.

Let's forget about taxes...

And get back to building!

@zia_webdev We usually pick the option with less pixels.

Cursor Head of Design Ryo Lu (@ryolu_) has spent his career at the intersection of design and engineering—from building fan sites as a kid to designing products at Stripe, Asana, and Notion. Now he's rethinking how software itself gets made.

On this episode of Design Review, Ryo joins YC's @aaron_epstein to break down how great product websites communicate what a company does. They walk through sites from early-stage startups, calling out the small choices in structure, clarity, and brand that help users understand a product instantly— and the ones that get in the way.
