🚀 Big News! We are part of Y Combinator S24 Batch 🚀 We have started a new AI software company and YC decided to fund us again. I am back with an incredible team of engineers and co-founders Heber Uriegas Javier Gonzalez and Fernando Huerta creating something new. Confession: This journey holds special meaning for us as second-time YC founders. Why? Because even after growing to USD 6M revenue, we previously failed. Our last company didn't go as planned, but the experience was invaluable, and it has only made us stronger to start again. We are in SF, where technology, AI, and the best talent are reshaping the world. There has never been a better time to create life-changing products again. Excited to work with Aaron Epstein Garry Tan Ooshma Garg Surbhi Sarna along the way. We will be launching soon.

heymax.ai | Gives You a Free Trip, Every Year. has gained significant recognition in the startup community, being named in the TOP100 Growth Programme recently. What does this partnership mean for them? Product Manager Long Yin Luk explains in this article 🚀 #TOP100 #fintech #partnership

So what can we aggregate from all of these? 1) No text heavy slides 2) Yes, you can invest in amazing design, but that's not what matters to investors. The actual value your product can bring to the world is being measured here! 3) You don't necessarily need images or screenshots of big excel tables showing how you'll use money or who you are. That comes after the INITIAL pitch which is exactly what these slides are here for. 4) LinkedIn's pitch deck may make me cringe in terms of design, length and amount of text on some slides, but damn if it doesn't showcase exactly what they were doing and why it was working! Your idea needs to be a killer. That's first and foremost! It's not luck whether you get funded or not. Resilience, idea, and team. That's the secret formula.

That’s why entities like Switcho, a startup that helps families save on utilities, exist. Recently, Switcho forged a partnership with Webank, a part of the Banco BPM Group, to integrate its services with the bank’s offerings.🤝 Founded in 2019 in Milan by Marco Tricarico, Francesco L., and Redi Vyshka, Switcho provides a free digital service that manages utilities for over 600,000 people in an incredibly straightforward manner.

Great show, Harry Stebbings ! 4 Key takeaways from Antoine Le Nel, Chief Growth Officer at Revolut : ➡️ Prioritize ROI over CAC. Revolut focuses on acquiring high-quality customers, emphasizing lifetime value (LTV) rather than just short-term acquisition costs. This strategy supports sustainable growth, even if it means higher upfront costs. ➡️ Localization is often overrated. While many companies emphasize localized strategies, Revolut minimizes these efforts, instead focusing on universal consumer interests—except in markets like Japan—where targeted strategies are necessary. Antoine believes global creative strategies often yield better results. ➡️ Embrace rapid iteration and cut losses quickly. King’s success in game launches relied on swift iteration and cutting projects when needed. Revolut applies this approach, quickly dropping unsuccessful campaigns to maintain momentum and efficiency. ➡️ An integrated growth engine across all funnel stages. Revolut’s growth strategy aligns upper, mid, and lower funnel efforts, optimizing conversion rates and enabling rapid scaling. 20VC #GrowthHacks #Fintech #Revolut #ProductManagement #PerformanceMarketing #StartupCulture #GlobalExpansion #Crypto #Branding #Innovation #Startups
