The B2B Payments Platform
We built a platform that helps businesses accept and reconcile B2B payments. Our software automates payment processing and uses machine learning to detect fraud, making payment management easier for finance teams.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and Slope would be based here after YC.
San Francisco is the right base for us because it's the fintech hub where our customers and partners are concentrated, and it's where we're already building our network and team.
