Florin

YCombinator

The financial operating system for the companies building the future.

Florin brings banking, payments, cards, and treasury into one account built for startups - so founders can hold, move, and grow their capital without stitching together half a dozen tools. Unlike platforms that resell another bank's rails, we're building the infrastructure ourselves, end to end, so money moves in real time on a single ledger we own. We start with an invite-only membership for venture-backed companies and expand from there. Named after the florin, the coin that anchored global trade for three centuries, with infrastructure built for how money moves now.

We’re a high-growth tech company changing the retirement industry. We’ve raised $500M and are backed by leading investors. Most recently, by funding from BlackRock as well as many other top investors: TPG (The Rise Fund) with SoftBank led our Series D, Glynn Capital, NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and others.
