Capital: the viral fintech brand empowering founders

Capital, which was founded in March 2021, has leveraged consumer marketing tactics to build a viral fintech brand with a cult-like following of founders. Propelled by the platform's flagship fundraising tool and initiatives like New York Tech Week, Capital established a loyal following of swiftly-growing startups.

Officials from Capital said that as founders themselves, they’ve set out to build a banking platform that leverages their acute understanding of founders’ needs. They're excited to join Rho and help them continue to grow and evolve their business, and they look forward to working together to continue building modern financial solutions for founders.

Previous news from Rho

In May 2021, Rho has released its Rho Card, a Mastercard corporate credit card with flexible terms. Holders of Rho’s new card can choose to maximise their cashback up to 1.75%, extend repayment terms, or pursue some combination of the two, and they can alter these terms up to four times a year to adapt to changing business needs.

The Rho card is a suite product that offers a centralised dashboard, digital receipt uploads, and built-in spend limits and category restrictions. Customers can authorise an unlimited number of both virtual and physical cards, on which they can place individual spend limits. The Rho card is seeking to replace existing corporate credit card programmes, and it appears well positioned to do so.
