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
