Arc

Moments ago we unveiled Capital Markets to the world—the first venture debt marketplace for Silicon Valley. Through Arc, startups can apply for everything from Venture Debt to ABLs  from the world’s leading lenders in minutes and receive indicative terms at no cost. We’re so confident in our network of lenders, that qualified startups who apply but don’t receive indicative terms will receive $10,000 in their Arc account*. That’s what we call a win-win. 🤝 Links: 👉 Apply for funding: https://lnkd.in/gAgtuj-2 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g8MRxD86 * Conditions apply.  Indicative terms are not a binding offer.

The bane of most CFOs’ existence: understanding the transactions in their financial account. We’re solving that for them with enhanced transaction management. Our enhanced transaction management tools have been helping startups: - Integrate document viewing: See receipts and invoices right next to transaction details, keeping everything in one place. - Manage transactions flexibly: Upload attachments and add notes to transactions, old or new, for better context and record-keeping. - Save time with visual cues: Icons in the transaction table instantly show which entries have attachments or notes. These tools help startups improve compliance, simplify ERP integration, and manage finances more efficiently. Are you looking for a financial platform that combines powerful features with user-friendly design? Let's explore how Arc can elevate your startup's financial operations.

We're thrilled to welcome Jack Jenkins as our newest Software Engineer joining our SF HQ! His journey to Arc is as unique as the founder tools we're building. Jack’s journey to Arc is one of passion and purpose. Growing up with CPA parents, he was surrounded by finance from an early age. A short internship at Goldman Sachs confirmed his passion for finance, but highlighted just how offline and antiquated much of it had become. His decision to join Arc stems from a shared vision: disrupting traditional finance through software. Armed with engineering experience from high-growth startups, Jack brings a wealth of knowledge to our team. His blend of financial acumen and engineering skills exemplify the diverse skills we champion at Arc. We're excited to see how Jack's contributions will help shape the future of FinTech. Welcome to the team, Jack! 🚀

Arc Capital Markets has grown 9x since our January launch. We're targeting another 20x this year. To support this growth, we're expanding our Asset-Backed Finance team 📈 If you work in traditional finance & want to be part of its disruption, drop me a line. Bonus points if you're top bucket at a tier 1 private credit fund, investment bank, or PE fund.

The Y Combinator S24 batch is officially underway! We're still riding high from last week's YC Welcome Brunch & Headshots at Arc HQ in SF. It was a special moment: bringing new YC founders together reminded us just how inspiring this chapter of the journey is. Arc's CEO and W22 alum, Don Muir, flew in from our NYC HQ specifically for the occasion. Something magical happens when YC founders are in one place. As Don shared stories from Arc’s early years, the room was alive with new connections and ideas. And S24 founders left with more than just alumni wisdom: they also snagged professional headshots on the official YC orange background to level up their future pitch decks. A big shoutout to Caitlin McCarthy, Erika Bricky, and the whole Arc SF team for hosting! If you couldn’t make this one, drop us a line to learn about all of the upcoming YC community events we’re hosting 👀
