Founded and sold a B2B2C startup to X5. Today its GMV is over $1B.

Previously we co-founded a social-media app for the US market and ran performance marketing ourselves — so we know the pain on both sides.

Acquiring-led sales for banks

A way for banks to open more business and retail accounts — by giving real value to both.

Why now?

📈
CAC keeps climbing.
Covering a customer’s bill is now cheaper than performance marketing.
🪙
SMB margins get thinner by the day.
Many local businesses live on the edge — they need new revenue streams.
Appendix · Moat

Why this compounds

🔁
Two-sided flywheel
More businesses → more sponsors → better offers → more businesses — and any merchant can flip sides and advertise.
🔒
Loyalty lock-in
Swapping acquiring is easy; ripping out a loyalty program wired into checkout is not.

Matching · users × advertisers

How we match users and advertisers

Four layers of offers — from the merchant's own world, to universal, to personal, to ones users never knew existed.

1
🏪

Merchant-related offers

Native to the checkout you're in

Offers tied to the business’s own world — add-ons, upgrades and partner services around the purchase.

Add-ons & upgrades Memberships Partner services
2
🏦

General financial offers

Anyone qualifies · no data needed

High-value financial actions advertisers pay heavily to acquire — applicable to every user out of the box.

Open a bank account $20–400 Switch your payroll $40–1000 Switch your insurance $40–1000 Refinance your loans

Personalized offers

Substitutes for what you already use

Users share their data — via screenshots, Plaid and Gmail — and we offer cheaper or better substitutes for services they already pay for.

Discovery offers

Offers they didn't know existed

With that data we surface relevant offers the user never knew were available — ones that save them money, effort or time.

As vibe-coding and AI content explode, attention becomes the most valuable asset — and a positive LTV/CAC ratio gets harder to achieve.
