About RunwayTreasury
RunwayTreasury exists to help founders and finance teams make good decisions
about where to bank and where to hold startup cash. The site is independent.
It is not owned by, affiliated with, or controlled by any of the providers
it covers.
Who writes this
RunwayTreasury is written by Jesse Wolfe. He has spent 16+ years in
data analytics, operational reporting, and reconciliation, the last
8+ of them on a corporate treasury team, across multiple tech
startups in a couple of different verticals. He supports the
Treasurer, the finance team, and the CFO from a data and
cash-operations angle, in an environment that services billions of
dollars of debt, millions of borrower payments, and hundreds of
investors across dozens of bank accounts at more than one institution.
He started RunwayTreasury to bring that operator's perspective, and
genuine neutrality, to the banking and cash questions startups face,
backed by real research instead of vendor spin. It is independent:
not a bank, not a broker, not a registered investment adviser, and
not affiliated with, owned by, or controlled by any provider covered
here.
Every figure here is dated or flagged for verification, and an
affiliate link never changes a rating. When the honest answer is
"stay where you are," that is what you will read.
How we keep it honest
We read the primary source, not the press release. We separate the bank from
the fintech product. We rate by fit, not by payout, and we say so on the
pages where our honest answer earns us nothing. Where a page is stale, we fix
it and re-date it. The full method, and exactly how the site makes money,
lives on our methodology and disclosures page.
