Oh hey PH! We’re Ted and Thomas from Bend (YC S22). We help companies measure their carbon emissions by connecting to your corporate bank account (Brex, Mercury, or any other financial institution on Plaid) and then estimating the impact of each purchase. Thomas and I found our way to this project via our background in fintech. Prior to Bend, I was a co-founder of Abacus (YC W14), a spend...

Though we do compete with Expensify, Concur, etc. we think of ourselves pretty differently — First of all, with Abacus, the payouts are baked right in.

AbacusFast expense reimbursement for small businesses

Also, with Abacus you shouldn't need a taskrabbit — creating an expense takes ~10 seconds, and then you can throw away the receipt.

You might even get paid back before you get home, with our fast ACH processing times (we handle the reimbursement, direct to your bank account)
