Our take
Slash is an online banking platform for the “hustle” economy, empowering young entrepreneurs to easily manage their personal and business bank accounts through a single dashboard.
The company has over 20,000 customers that make a living reselling, flipping NFTs, and running e-commerce sites using Slash’s tools. Its checking, invoicing, profit tracking, and virtual cards have been purpose-built for online businesses, giving it an edge over traditional banking solutions hoping to reach the solo entrepreneur market.
Following an impressive funding round in May 2023 the company is focused on expanding its market reach. In addition to building out its banking platform, Slash also aims to become a legal and financial one-stop shop to help young entrepreneurs manage all aspects of their businesses – including tax management, automated bookkeeping, and more. As one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the US, Slash is well set to build upon its current momentum.
