Haystack

Hey PH! 👋 Krista, Sarthak, Alec, Andrew, Joyce, and Tara here! We’re on a mission to address the 20-30 hours the average founder spends researching business financial tools, only to select the wrong one, deploy it, hate it, and restart the process a few months down the line. With Haystack, founders can efficiently find their “needle in a Haystack” Credit Card, Payment Processor, HR Platform, and Financial Management Software that works best for their unique business, team, growth plan, and budget. - - - - - - - - - - - - Why Are We So Passionate About Solving This Problem? There are over 33 million small businesses in the US, and unfortunately 1 in 5 will fail in their first year. 🙁 Those first 365 days of set up and hustle are the most important period in a startup’s life and we know how impossible it can be to focus on growth when you’re missing sales because your POS crashed, or you can’t keep up with traction because you’ve hit your credit card limit. Making a mistake by choosing the wrong financial products can be detrimental. Haystack is here to make those early days run more effectively, so every founder is set up for success on Day 1! 📈 - - - - - - - - - - - - How Does Haystack Work? 🔍 Personalized Recommendations: Chat with our Seekr-powered AI Assistant who will analyze your specific business requirements and provide tailored suggestions for financial and HR tools. 🔄 Compare Apples to Apples: Easily compare multiple options side-by-side to find the smallest differences in features, integrations, pricing, scalability, and more. 🖥️ User-Friendly, Honest, & Concise Experience: Our platform is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, and our reviews are direct and unbiased… no fluff to be found! - - - - - - - - - - - - Join Us on This Journey!
